It’s not every day you find a body, an eyeball, and a litter tray in one room. But in a small Nova Scotia town, anything can happen. When a local doctor is found dead with one eye missing, Yeovilton County descends into chaos. While the authorities prefer not to look too closely, former detective Daryl Smith cannot let it go. Teaming up with Yvonne Sparks, a brilliant profiler sidelined for speaking her mind, he steps into an investigation that quickly turns grotesque, absurd, and deeply unsettling. A twisted killer stalks the town. A man who loves his cats more than human life. Armed with a mallet and a warped sense of justice, he leaves behind a trail of clues no sane investigator would expect: missing eyeballs, dismembered fingers, blood-written messages, half-eaten cans of tuna, and vanishing purebred felines. As the body count rises, Daryl and Yvonne uncover a world of scandal, corruption, and obsession. A one-eyed cat, a self-serving mayor, a cult leader with a secret, and a police chief more interested in book clubs than justice all play their part.
