Description

Zach Adams is one of the best detectives in the country. Nicknamed Cowboy, he's a soft-spoken homicide detective known for his integrity and courage under fire. He serves on a federal task force that has a single mission: to hunt down Dominic Abend, a European gangster who has taken over the American underworld. In a centuries-old forest under a full moon, a beast assaults Zach, cursing him forever. In the aftermath, he is transformed into something horrible-something deadly. Now, the good cop has innocent blood on his hands. He has killed-and will kill again-in the form of a beast who can't be controlled or stopped. Before he can free himself, he's going to have to solve the greatest mystery of all: How can you defeat evil when the evil is inside you

Reviews

"Werewolf Cop moves like a freight train-a classic white-knuckled police procedural with the chills of a midnight horror movie, and the best kind of old-fashioned hero at the center. I loved it." -- Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of 'Paranoia' "The most original American novelist of crime and suspense since Cornell Woolrich." -- Stephen King "Be warned: this book is loaded with provocations. The French have Michel Houellebecq; here in the US of A, we have Andrew Klavan. Werewolf Cop is his best book yet, one that starts with a rush and never lets up, dark and funny, with the bittersweet taste of the knowledge of good and evil." -- Books and Culture "Though the title might suggest more lighthearted fare, make no mistake, this is a gritty crime novel at heart. Klavan is a suspense expert, building slowly through the first half of the book and then setting a rapid, tense pace for the second. And for all of that, Klavan also infuses the text with a plentiful wry humor." -- Foreword Reviews "Fans of contemporary monster tales will be taken with Klavan's thriller." -- Kirkus Reviews "Klavan winds his tale tighter and tighter until the reader is hopelessly spellbound. Superb suspense by a master storyteller." -- Clive Cussler "A modern masterpiece of hardboiled horror, featuring a hero who feels like he stepped out of a Raymond Chandler novel." -- John J. Miller, author of 'The First Assassin' "Klavan has a knack for creating relentless, fast-paced narratives, and this thriller-horror hybrid is no exception." -- Booklist "Werewolf Cop grabs the reader by the throat and doesn't let go until the very end. The writing is crisp and descriptive. Straight-arrow Zach Adams has his flaws and moments of doubt. The other characters are also fully-rounded. This good read will send shivers up your spine." -- AuthorLink.com "The two Edgars Klavan owns testify to his excellence at thrillers." -- Publishers Weekly
