THE CLEANSING tells the story of a
violent American Indian wolf god,
Wanata, who comes to Earth to make humanity accountable
for its abuses against nature. As
strange events unfold in Alaska, freelance journalist Savannah
Channing is sent to investigate the story of a rampaging
wolf pack systematically destroying entire villages. By the time she arrives,
the devastation has spread into a horrifying holocaust that test the mettle of
the military forces and a brutal bounty hunter they have employed.
Then Wanata's cataclysmic mission
goes terribly wrong. An Indian
Shaman's magic turns him into a mortal human and he is forced to interact with
those he was sent to punish. He
must use his wits to survive in a weaker human state while
also holding his pack together.
Inexorably, Savannah and Wanata
converge into a spine-chilling
conclusion that is fresh and original and violent. The writing is taut and
gripping. John Harvey tells his suspenseful, episodic drama through the eyes
of Savannah and Wanata in such a cunning way that the reader is left in a
state of unrelenting tension--anxiously craving for a sequel.
