Devil Moon

Author’s Note

This entry in the King saga was taken from Evelyn King’s diary and not her father’s journals. Nate makes mention of the affair but only briefly.

Evelyn is quite insistent that the mountain lion was black. Current scientific opinion has it that black mountain lions do not exist. Yet there have been scores of eyewitness accounts of such cats.

The reader is left to decide whether her tale is true. It should be noted that many years later, an old, moth-eaten black cat hide said to belong to the King family was sold at auction in Estes Park. No one knows where that hide is today.
