Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In "The Secrets of Lost Creek," JM Gunn weaves a gripping narrative that blends cryptozoological thriller with a poignant environmental mission. The story follows Melissa Mullins, a museum researcher whose childhood survival at the hands of a mysterious forest giant has fueled a lifelong obsession. When a high-tech expedition led by the ruthless Tristan Voss ends in a bloody massacre, Melissa is rescued and healed by the very creatures she sought to prove existed.Faced with the choice between scientific fame and the safety of a species, Melissa chooses the latter. Alongside her colleague Dr. Ellis, she orchestrates a daring legal deception, planting fake evidence of the extinct Ivory-billed Woodpecker to trigger federal protection for the forest. As she battles corporate lawyers in the boardroom and evades rangers in the brush, the stakes turn deadly when a broken and vengeful Tristan returns to the woods for a final trophy. Ultimately, the story is a testament to the "paper shields" we build to protect the ancient, silent wonders of the world from the encroachment of man.
