In Tooth and Claw (Paperback)

On the surface, Diana Hutchins has everything-fabulous wealth, trips abroad, an apartment in the glittering city-but despite these riches, she suffers a profound malaise. Confronted with the realization that an authentic life might mean renouncing everything she's taken for granted, Diana leaves the caged city for a wide-open world where a feral presence haunts-and then begins to inform-her every action. Meditative and haunting, IN TOOTH AND CLAW mines deep into the human experience, asking if we live in a world today that no longer allows us to recognize our inner animal selves. "It is said by some that storytelling is a lost art. So, when you encounter a storyteller of the first order, as is the case with Michael Luders, treasure the experience. And this novel is a true treasure, a tale told by a master in full command of his art." --Slaton White, deputy editor, Field & Stream
