A paranormal suspense novel in which a Central Park murder pulls a detective and an FBI agent into werewolf folklore that turns out to be anything but folklore. Urban fantasy crime with a forbidden-attraction thread and a monster problem hiding inside a murder problem.
The Murder Was Ritual. The Ritual Was for Werewolves.
The grisly killing of a diplomat's son in Central Park lands NYPD Detective Gerald Meeker and FBI Special Agent Andee Trakes a case that refuses to make sense. Within hours, the evidence suggests the victim was executed in the manner reserved for werewolves. Andee is assigned to consult a history professor who's an expert on folklore and legend.
Professor Alwyn Lloyd is handsome, articulate and successful. He agrees the death was an execution. He also claims to be a werewolf. Andee finds herself torn between her interest in the man and her instinct to arrest him.
Then the killing in the park ignites a bloody spree, and Andee and Alwyn have to work together to protect themselves and the people they love. The wolf, it turns out, has a beautiful side and an ugly one. So does the truth about who's doing the killing.
Shadow of the Moon is a standalone paranormal suspense novel, for readers who love werewolf lore, uneasy alliances and slow-burn attraction inside a murder investigation. Perfect for fans of Patricia Briggs, Kelley Armstrong and Kim Harrison.
