A parliament of shapeshifting owls. A tiny corpse. And an innocent woman blamed for murder.

When Susan finds a miniature human corpse in her garden, she feels obligated to solve the mystery. She's distracted from her investigation by courtship with an unusual but attractive young man. Susan is shocked when her sexy new beau admits he's been sent by a supernatural cult of shapeshifting owls bent on executing Susan for a crime she didn't commit.

Susan narrowly escapes the parliament's ruthless punishment when she's kidnapped by the murder victim's kin to stand trial. Determined to prove her innocence, Susan agrees to a deadly confrontation with the real killer. Meanwhile, the silent avian predators hunt Susan's friends and family, and even Susan's new boyfriend can't sway his nocturnal sisters from their talons of justice.

Can Susan escape in time to defend them all from the raptors' inhuman vengeance?
