After an honorable discharge from the Army, Vietnam veteran and sociopath Runt Wade makes a living scamming banks and senior citizens and laundering drug money from a CIA splinter group headed by his commanding officer. He loves, Mai Linn, a "gift" from Wade's Montanyard fighting companion, who shares his home. He also takes care of his ailing mother. His life is good until one man threatens to undo his scams and to add to his misery, the suppliers of the drug money he launders, turn on him. Wade finds himself looking down the sights of the crossbow he'd used in Vietnam to kill his enemies. Unfortunately, the rules of the jungle no longer apply, and he finds himself hunted by a determined female detective and a senior citizen whose aid she solicited. Wade's goal is to escape with his money and with Mai Linn, but the detective and her citizen assistant have an opposite goal - capture and bring Wade to justice.

Elderwood is no ordinary forest. It listens. It remembers. And deep within it lies a still, dark pool said to tell the truth. Bogden-"Bog" to everyone who knows he's not as tough as he pretends-is a teenage Bigfoot trying to keep his clan safe after humans chased them from their home in Shimmerleaf Hollow. With Piney, his wisecracking squirrel sidekick, Bog follows Nana Moss into Elderwood for answers... and gets a warning instead. A new group of humans is coming to Cedar Ridge-quiet, organized, and carrying sleek black cases that don't belong in the woods. The truth-pool also shows June, Bog's trusted human friend, sneaking back into Shimmerleaf Hollow to hide something in the roots. Nana warns that foes can become friends. What does the mystery mean, and what is to become of the Bigfoots of Cedar Ridge? After perilous adventures, all seems right. And just when you think things have calmed down, a new Bigfoot friend catches Bog's attention.
