The People of Memu, (Paperback)

Deep in the woods of Southern Maryland, along the forgotten backroads of La Plata, a cult survives on fear, loyalty, and firelight. They call themselves The People of Memu-a community of drug-fueled, off-the-grid believers who worship pitbulls as sacred beings and live by panhandling the corners of Route 301.<br>But when a teenage boy goes missing after filming a strange ritual in the woods, Detective Marisa Leary follows a trail of blood, whispers, and madness into the heart of the cult's territory. What she finds there is far more terrifying than a group of unhinged followers.<br>Memu, the scarred and charismatic leader, is only a man-<br>but the monster he worships is not.<br>Born from the ruins of a decades-old research project buried beneath a burned gas station, a creature has awakened-one that adapts, evolves, and chooses its Alpha the same way a myth chooses its god. When the beast rejects its prophet, the People of Memu face a fate more horrifying than death.<br>As the cult collapses and the true Alpha rises, Marisa must confront a chilling truth: <br>Some monsters don't hunt for food. They hunt for destiny.<br>In this explosive, supernatural thriller inspired by the tones of Stephen King and James Patterson, the line between man, beast, and god blurs into a nightmare of blood, evolution, and the terrifying price of freedom.<br>Dare to enter the woods.<br>Dare to meet the Dog.<br>And pray it doesn't choose you.<br>
