Katy Gallagher has gotten used to ridicule. With her mentor Charlie Bergren, she searches for the truth about the legendary Bigfoot and its connection to human history, a hobby that sets her in the sights of every yahoo with a big mouth and no brains. Katy refuses to give up, believing her quest will alter how humans view their place in the world. But an unknown enemy is bent on stopping the hunt for the Sasquatch… When another friend is murdered and Charlie vanishes without a trace, Katy knows a coldblooded killer is closing in on her, too. This ruthless enemy will stop at nothing to keep the secrets of the Bigfoot mystery hidden. Katy's only hope of survival is to track down the clues to Charlie's disappearance and discover if he is alive or dead, and what evidence he dug up that's worth killing for. Someone else wants to know the answers, too — Rick Bergren, Charlie's son, who has come home to find his father. Now Katy, a willful believer in the paranormal, must join forces with Rick, a hostile skeptic, in a desperate quest to expose a deadly conspiracy. As sparks fly between the pair, they struggle to stay alive while retracing Charlie's final steps. Driven into the wilds of northern Michigan, they stumble onto more than they bargained for — because humans aren't the only ruthless enemies circling them.

Mysterious footprints. Eerie screams. For centuries, if not longer, stunned witnesses have reported face-to-face encounters with the bizarre beasts responsible for mystifying us with the tantalizing evidence they leave behind. Countless books and documentaries have offered up the same explanation, that Bigfoot are nothing more than large, bipedal apes that mainstream science has yet to accept as real. But is this the truth, or merely disinformation?    Now, Lisa A. Shiel--author of the acclaimed Backyard Bigfoot--presents the uncensored facts about Bigfoot in a meticulously researched, no-holds-barred exploration of the phenomenon. Forbidden Bigfoot exposes the startling connections between Sasquatch and other unexplained phenomena, from UFOs and fairies to stick signs and crop-circle-like formations. Shiel strips away the hype about claims of Bigfoot DNA evidence, touted as the ultimate proof, and explores what genetics and the fossil record can really tell us about these elusive creatures.
