The Killing Fields of the Chupacabra
(2026)(The seventh book in the Nicole Beretti series)
A novel by Luka T Jacobs
In the dead of night, bodies are found drained and broken, abandoned in an open field and inside a quiet trailer park. There are no footprints. No tracks. No obvious sign of how the predator arrived or where it went. This is not a creature drawn to livestock or easy prey. It's focused on hunting humans.
For FBI Special Agent Nicole Beretti and her partner Noah Jacobi, this case breaks from everything they have faced before. They have hunted cryptids that leave signs, patterns, and boundaries. This one follows none of those rules. Every assumption is useless, every instinct suspect, and the ground beneath them can no longer be trusted.
As panic spreads and the death toll rises, Beretti and Jacobi are joined by a new team member whose expertise may be their only advantage against a killer that refuses to be seen. Together, they race to uncover the truth behind a predator that uses the land itself as cover, striking without warning and vanishing before anyone can react.
The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes. This is not an animal acting on hunger alone. It is a hunter exploiting the one place humans never think to look.
And by the time they realise how close it has been all along, it may already be too late.
