Hominid (The Ancestral Code Book 1)

Dr. Tess Brannick, who holds advanced degrees in Anatomy and Physiology and possesses deep knowledge of forest ecosystems, has developed a plan to find conclusive proof of bigfoot. After a year of research in northern California, she is close to a major discovery. For centuries, legends of a giant hairy creature in the Pacific Northwest have persisted, but definitive evidence has never been found. Tess's research is funded by Carter Hayes, a CEO who has been obsessed with bigfoot since childhood and sees the discovery as a way to secure his legacy. As Tess approaches her goal, she grows concerned not about her subject, but about Hayes himself. Hayes is determined to achieve his objective and will not allow anyone to stand in his way—including Tess. This standalone novel explores what would happen if bigfoot were actually discovered, examining the consequences that come with such a discovery.
