In the frozen wilds of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, a de-extinct cave lion—brought back to life by a rogue Russian scientist—escapes into the wilderness. During a heli-ski expedition, the creature slaughters an American billionaire and several locals, leaving behind a trail of mangled bodies.

​

The grisly attacks draw two detectives from the Petropavlovsk Police headquarters into a chilling investigation. Their search leads them to a notorious geneticist, Dr. Atlasov, a reclusive oligarch living aboard a fortified yacht in a remote harbor. With his equally brilliant and reckless son, Atlasov has been resurrecting long-extinct species without regard for the consequences.

​

When the lion is sighted near a new luxury resort, the detectives race to track it down before it strikes again. But powerful forces—possibly even the FSB—may intervene, determined to conceal the truth and exploit the beast’s terrifying potential. In the icy shadows of Kamchatka, the hunters may soon find themselves the hunted.
