The protagonist, Nick Lupo, is a Milwaukee cop with a dark secret: he is a werewolf. He has been struggling to control his inner beast for years, but now he faces a new challenge: a serial killer who knows his secret and wants to make him suffer. The killer, Martin Stewart, is a twisted and sadistic psychopath who has a personal vendetta against Nick for killing his sister, who was also a werewolf. Martin begins to murder women who are connected to Nick in some way, leaving behind clues and messages for him to follow. Nick must track down Martin before he kills anyone else, especially the woman he loves, a town doctor who becomes Martin’s ultimate bait.

The author does not shy away from depicting the brutality and savagery of both the human and the animal nature.
