The Thrilling Second Chapter in International Bestselling Author Jason Starr’s THE PACK Series
Simon Burns has a big secret.
And it may cost him his life.
Mild-mannered stay-at-home dad Simon Burns has undergone a life-changing transformation—after being indoctrinated into “the pack,” he has become a werewolf.
For the moment, Simon’s lying secret seems safe. But NYPD homicide detective Geri Rodriguez has not forgotten about the mysterious wolf-like murders that remain unsolved, and when she hears that one of the witnesses, Diane Coles, was brutally murdered outside her parents’ home in Michigan, she resumes her investigation.
Simon wants to stay away from the pack, but when Detective Rodriguez closes in on the truth, Simon’s drawn into a deadly battle.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Simon Burns and his single dad cronies from The Pack (2011) return in this similarly dark and humorous look into what life is like in modern Manhattan when you suffer from a "lycanthropic disorder." NYPD homicide detective Geri Rodriguez is trying to connect Burns and his pals to the death of a successful 38-year-old Upper East Sider from the climax of their first outing. Pack leader Michael Hartman's 141-year-old dad, Volker, is turning on him, hinting to Simon that during WWII his son was a "Nazi werewolf serial killer." Simon's marriage is still rocky, if without worries that he may "wolf out" and devour his wife. Simon has many problems "it was hard to appreciate the positives of being a werewolf" but at least when Simon sings in the shower, he now sounds like Barry White. As usual, Starr (Panic Attack) pictures a completely convincing New York scene, spiced lightly with sprinkles of Lon Chaney Jr.
