Murder, He Howled

When Parker Doyle is bitten by what he thinks is a rabid wolf it turns out to be an honest-to-goodness werewolf which takes a bite out of his normal life as a college writing professor. His days--and nights--are now fraught with fear of discovery, learning to cope with the idea that he is a potential killer during the full moon and his lack of normal feminine companionship. The only good thing to come out of the episode is selling his first novel, a detective series about a Denver police officer who just happens to moonlight as a werewolf. The series is a howling success.

Then people start turning up dead, and Parker is connected to them all: a fellow mystery writer wildly jealous of Parker and a beastly student who attacked him in front of fellow students. Now Parker is being framed for the murders—but by whom? And why? He has no option but to use his curse to help solve the crimes. Add to the mix a crazy fan, a sexy groupie determined to get her claws into Parker and a sweet-natured animal lover fascinated with wolves. . . and things get really hairy.
