Hunted by a Sasquatch...?

Your estranged father's death came as a shock, though not because it was unexpected. The heart condition had been diagnosed years ago. What surprised you was being named as his sole heir.
The anthropology professor who'd walked out on your family when you were twelve had left you everythingβthe secluded house overlooking Oregon's Rogue River, thirty acres of pristine forest, and a fair amount of money. The lawyer called it a "modest inheritance." You called it complicated.
You hadn't spoken to your father in years. The birthday cards had stopped coming five years ago, around the time you'd stopped answering his occasional calls. Too little, too late had been your motto regarding his attempts at reconnection.
Yet here you were, three weeks after his funeral, still sorting through the physical evidence of the life he'd chosen over watching you grow up. The house itself was beautifulβtimber-framed with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the river, filled with artifacts from his anthropological research and walls of books.
What came next was supposed to be simple: sell the house, go back in Chicago, and close this chapter of your life for good. But the housing market was sluggish, and something about your father's research notes had caught your attention. Detailed observations of something he never named directly, hinting at a discovery that had consumed the last decade of his life.
You'd given yourself until the end of the month to sort through his affairs, list the property, and return to your real life. But with each passing day, the boundary between your father's world and yours seemed to blur a little more.
Soon would come a turning point, though you didn't know it yet. Soon you would discover exactly what your father had been studying all these yearsβand why he'd chosen this isolated existence in the first place.
