Synopsis

He found them in a ditch by the side of the road. The girl was pinned, helpless. The animal on top of her was too big to be an ordinary wolf: razor claws, a muscular, human-like upper body. It was a werewolf, like Danny. His nightmare had followed him here, to a place where he thought he was safe.

In this exciting sequel to Lone Wolf, Danny is alone, on the run, in a new town. During the day he works in a local kebab shop. At night he tries to control his werewolf appetites.

However, he will not be on his own for long. Carver’s friends have tracked him down and want to avenge their gang leader’s death. But when Danny steps in to rescue a strange girl from their clutches, the fight takes an unexpected turn.
