A daughter disappears in the middle of the night. What happens in the aftermath of this tragedy--after the search is abandoned, after the TV crews move on to cover the latest horrific incident--is the story of Coyote. There is a marriage and a detective. There is a storm, a talk show host, and a roasted boar. People are murdered and things are hidden. Coyotes skulk in the woods, a man stands by the fence, and a tale emerges within this familiar landscape of the violent unknown.
