Swampwalker J K Jolliff

Down in Louisiana's Pearl River Basin, just outside of New Orleans, an ape-like creature is sighted lurking in the swamps. The local people claim to have known about it for generations. They call it the Swampwalker, Louisiana's swamp-version of the more famous Bigfoot. A young scientist, Carlos O'Keefe, decides to investigate these reports. He is thrust into a world of unusual characters: Julius Roman Babineaux, an artistic campground proprietor; Jim Papatonis, a Vietnam vet who tracks animals in the swamps; and Sheila Carson, a secretive archeologist who has collected her own compelling evidence. In his quest to discover the truth about Louisiana's Swampwalker, Carlos must confront an even bigger question, a question that science cannot answer-what is the right thing to do?
