A young American, a Vietnam veteran, lives a seemingly ordinary life in London -- until his mind and body are disrupted by the promptings of horrifying violence. Bobby Ives never meant to hurt his lover. It was a bizarre accident, a morbid impulse -- his hands apparently pushing her beneath the wheels of a city bus.
Then it happened again, a playful race with a jogger in Hyde Park, the sudden adrenaline rush and an animalistic urge that triggers a vicious predatory chase.
And that was just the beginning.
Bobby finds himself alone, without weapons or clues to help him confront the terror that threatens him from within. Bewildered and agonized, he must wage a life or death battle against the menacing and unknown power which is transforming him into a creature that prowls the night. Was he losing his sanity or becoming -- a werewolf? Was such a thing even possible?
Adrift in the London of punk music and seedy drinking clubs, Bobby tries to cling to some semblance of a normal life, and seeks help from a gifted young clairvoyant, Miss Tanith. But can anyone save him from himself?
Thomas Tessier has taken a monster from the murky depths of history, legend and literature, and created a classic, modern werewolf novel.
"Scary, grim, fast-paced...very good!"
