Marlowe Higgins is a bit of a loaner. He moves from town to town, never settling down in one place. Why, you may ask? Because Marlowe Higgins is a werewolf. For years the Wolf existed, uncontrolled and killing at random. Until Marlowe trained the Wolf to only kill those he deemed evil enough to die. A serial killer, The Rose Killer, has begun to kill young women in the small town where Higgins is currently residing. He works closely with Daniel Pearce, a local police detective, to obtain details regarding the crime and focuses his attention on alleviating the small town of this horrible killer. Pekearo did a wonderful job with this amazing thriller/horror novel. The descriptions of the Wolf’s actions were downright gory and added to the intensity of this book. This is definitely a book that would attract readers from several different genres, ranging from paranormal thrillers to true crime. The Wolfman was Pekearo’s first and only published work. Pekearo was a volunteer for the NYPD Auxiliary Police Officer and was killed in the line of duty in 2007.

You’ve blown me away with the last statement…
It’s a shame..this author had a lot of potential!!
I found a copy at our library, but all were checked out. I’ve placed my name on the waiting list.
My library didn’t have it, neither did any of the local chain bookstores. I exceeded my amazon budget for the month (in reality, more like the year!) so I signed up for bookswim.com and I’m trying out “renting” books. They have a great inventory of books, including hard to find books that my local library doesn’t carry. The best thing–if they don’t have a book you want, they’ll buy it at your suggestion and add it to their inventory!
I got mine through The Strand. They had it 50% off, but you don’t get free shipping. Still haven’t read it though.
I’m halfway through now. If I didn’t have such a busy day, I would have stayed up and read until the book was done.
I have this book on my wish list to get
