Publisher's Synopsis
The body of a young girl is found mangled and murdered in the woods of Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania, in the shadow of the abandoned Godfrey Steel Mill. A manhunt ensuesthough the authorities arent sure its a man theyre looking for. Some suspect an escapee from the White Tower, a foreboding biotech facility owned by the Godfrey family, where some believe unethical biological experiments take place. Others turn to Peter Rumancek, a Gypsy trailer-trash kid who claims hes a werewolf. Or perhaps its Roman, the son of the late J.R. Godfrey, who rules the adolescent social scene with the casual arrogance of a cold-blooded aristocrat. As the crime goes unsolved and the police seem more and more willing to believe any rumor, Peter and Roman decide the only way to save their own skins is to find the killer themselves. Along the way they uncover local secrets and designs that are much bigger than some small-town murder.
