The Devil's Courthouse

Cole Whitman, a ranger with the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, is called to investigate the brutal killing of a man who was fishing in the park's tranquil waters. The normally reclusive black bear is targeted as the perpetrator, which places Cole on the defensive with several Appalachian town folk, an increasing number of bounty hunters, and a headstrong newspaper reporter. As the body count continues to rise, new clues suggest something more sinister behind the deaths. Cole must continue his investigation under the watchful eye of the FBI, as well as a local sheriff who holds a long-time grudge. The Cherokee's mystic lore, racial tensions, tales of an infamous serial killer, a massive manhunt, and a haunting psychosis revealed from Cole's past lead to a fast-paced climatic showdown, which will find judgment only at The Devil's Courthouse.
