Heather Lane is a girl deeply depressed by the death of her mother, and facing an uncertain future with her only living relative: her father who she has never met. In the high Sierras there is a mystery. A wolf-like creature with glowing red eyes frightened a girl late one night, and now that the newspapers have the story, the little town of Weaver’s Lake has been invaded by sightseers, other curious visitors, and those armed with rifles and only intent of shooting the mysterious beast. Into the mystery and chaos come Heather and her father. Heather is convinced he has only offered her a home out of a sense of responsibility and guilt for having left when she was very young. She is sure he does not like her, and not at all sure she will like him, but the mystery of the Phantom Wolf takes over her thoughts and her actions. She needs to find the answers.
