Rumor of a Werewolf

September: Sleepy Hollow, New York

Horrified law enforcement officials investigating the gruesome death of Candee Brenneman claim a wolf or some other large animal killed her. Brenneman, age 32, an avid jogger and fitness instructor, was found by an employee of RIP’s Restaurant under a bridge in Rockefeller State Park. Brenneman’s throat was savagely ripped apart. Large misshapen paw prints were found around the body. There were also bite marks on her hands, and arms. Some have suggested that her death, occurring during a full moon, indicates that a werewolf may be running loose in Sleepy Hollow. The investigation is on-going.

In Sleepy Hollow, New York Nick Caden uncovers the clues surrounding the murder of Candee Brenneman ... and other deadly secrets! But as the last full moon of the month rises over Raven Rock, Nick is about to learn that monsters are real. 

And the worst kind of monster is the one you never saw coming.

The Caden Chronicles series contains no; sexual dialogue or situations, violence, or strong language. While this teen / young adult murder mystery series discusses things like ghosts, vampires, zombies and shapeshifting, it does so in a factual way. Enjoy the study questions at the end of books 1 and 2.
