Do werewolves stalk the streets of Brokeheart, Colorado?

When drifter, gambler, and newspaper reporter Kepler settles for a job digging a grave in Brokeheart in July 1879, he finds himself at the center of a terrifying mystery. Was the victim who's final home Kepler dug merely a drunk who fell in the alley and was set upon by animals? And what of the rumor of a beautiful angel hovering over the body, her lips dripping with blood?

When wealthy European hunter Nicolae and his niece, the alluring and sensual Landry, appear in town at the same time and offer Kepler a position overseeing the construction of a lodge in the mountains above Brokeheart, it's more money than penniless Kepler has imagined in his life. But he soon questions whether the cost of the work is worth its reward.

As more mutilated bodies are discovered, will Kepler end the trail of death and destruction? For the people of Brokeheart and Kepler himself, it may already be too late.
