内容简介：
When Sheriff Dudley Bailey killed a blood-and-guts-eating thing that was picking and choosing its victims from his town of Chigger Ridge, Alabama, he thought the problem had ended. The sheriff was wrong. Seven months later came another one, just as vile and greedy for the flesh of humans. Worse, this new horror is carrying young and once itas spawned, no one is safe. In a strange parallel of evil, the sheriffas ex-wife shows up, a woman beautiful beyond description and whose wickedness is an equal match for the beasts he is trying to kill. Roxanne Pelham will stop at nothing to get her ex back into her bed, or destroy him if he refuses. An unexpected twist of fate spoils her plans for killing the sheriffas wife, Maree, and in a place as safe as a fenced-in yard, Mareeas strength and courage are pitted against a raging, vengeful monster.
