One winter night, a group of men arrive at the herder's cabin, startling him and his goat. They ask for shelter from the cold, but the herder seems suspicious. As the men settle in for the night, something strange begins to happen. The goat starts to bleed, and soon the herder is attacked. The men in the cabin call for help, but it's too late. The herder is dead, and the goat is also bloodied and traumatized. The only clue to what happened is a piece of cloth stained with the herder's blood. The goat leads the detectives on a harrowing search through the cold, dark woods, as they try to piece together what happened that night. With stunning visuals and a gripping mystery, The Staked Goat is a stunning debut novel from Jeremiah Healy; 8vo; Signed by Author .
