Robyn is in California to solve not one but two mysteries. What's going on with Sam Cavendar? Is she the Sam that Marian knows and loves, or an unspeakable monster from the pre-human past? And what's with the string of bizarre murders that are leaving victims all over San Diego flayed of their flesh? Can the archer in Lincoln Green beat the cops to the killer? Chuck Dixon (Bane: Conquest) continues building this multi-layered urban fantasy epic.
