Publisher's Synopsis
MURDER AT THE DAWN OF TIME
In the first city of the Stone Age, a Neanderthal lawman hunts the world's first serial killer. During a time of monstrous beasts and warring tribes, the sprawling Cro-Magnon settlement known as the Heap is home to new things: safety, trade, peace-and law. Red, a Broadhead exile adopted by the Heap, keeps those laws. He is a Fang, a sworn protector of the Heap's people, and he's dealt with everything from prehistory's first crime lords and caveman blood feuds to forest-dwelling cannibals and mammoth stampedes. A new terror comes to the Heap: the Blood-Spiller, a masked nightmare who kills without provocation. Red and his partner, the clever former warrior Star, struggle to catch this new killer in the flickering torchlight and primeval shadows of the dawn of mankind. And lurking under it all is a brewing war between the Heap and Red's Neanderthal kin-and the dark conspiracy behind the birth of civilization itself. Writer Michael Panush delivers a truly remarkable tale set against the backdrop of mankind's earliest presence on the planet. Artist Earl Geier provides the cover and interior illustrations while Art Director Rob Davis designs the book. An unusual adventure for pulp fans everywhere.
