Description

They call him the Wolfman – because he takes a bite out of his victims and because they found the first victim in the East End s lonely Wolf Street. Scotland Yard are anxious to find the killer and Inspector Rebus is drafted in to help. But his Scotland Yard opposite number, George Flight, isn t happy at yet more interference, and Rebus finds himself dealing with racial prejudice as well as the predations of a violent maniac.

When Rebus is offered a serial killer profile of the Wolfman by an attractive female psychologist, it s too good an opportunity to miss. But in finding an ally, he may have given his enemies an easy means of attack.
