Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • On the trail of a killer who cannot possibly exist ... Jeremy Logan, the renowned "enigmalogist," has often found himself in situations where keeping an open mind could mean the difference between life and death, and that has never been more true than now.
When Logan travels to an isolated writers' retreat deep in the Adirondacks to work on his book, he discovers the remote community has been rocked by the grisly death of a hiker on Desolation Mountain. The attack occurred during the full moon and the body was severely mauled, but the unusual savagery calls into question the initial suspicions of a bear attack. Logan's theories take a dramatic turn when he meets Laura Feverbridge, a respected scientist who is still struggling with the violent loss of her father months earlier. As Feverbridge shares her research with Logan, he begins to wonder whether he is actually up against something he can’t believe is real.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Childs's scary, atmospheric fifth novel featuring Jeremy Logan, a Yale history professor and investigator of unexplained phenomena (after 2015's The Forgotten Room), Logan looks for a rational explanation for rumors of werewolves. He has come to Cloudwater, a secluded Adirondacks retreat for creative people, to finish writing a monograph on heresy in the Middle Ages. But his plans are disrupted by a plea for help from an old college friend, forest ranger Randall Jessup. Jessup is worried by the deaths in recent months of two young, fit, highly experienced backpackers, each of whom was torn to pieces during a full moon near the small, isolated town of Pike Hollow. The official line is that the hikers were the victims of a bear, but Jessup doesn't buy it. Logan agrees to help out and begins his inquiries in Pike Hollow, whose few stores are evocatively described as "pushed up close against the road as if grasping at a life preserver." Fans of The X-Files will be enthralled.
Customer Reviews
Fun Read
Another satisfying effort from one of my favorite authors. Not exactly surprising, but definitely a good read.
Full Wolf Moon
Not extremely well written and very predictable.
Disappointing
Read ‘The Third Gate’ and liked it well enough to pick out another book by this author. ‘Full Wolf Moon’ was not half the book and was a disappointing read. It seemed to be written in a rush as though he had to get another book out for a publishers deadline. The ending was so poorly conceived —basically ridiculous. No joy.
