Praise for "Wolf"
"Hayder's best Jack Caffery thriller yet . . . A home invasion novel like no other . . . Dark and twisty, this gripping crime novel by an Edgar Award winner is an outstanding read, whether Jack is a new character to the reader or an old friend. For fans of John Connolly or Robert Crais." --Marianne Fitzgerald, "Library Journal" (starred review)
Praise for "Wolf"
"Mo Hayder is a master of ratcheting up tension throughout a book - to the point that one must simply finish it before doing anything else. Such is the case with "Wolf". I read it within 24 hours of opening the first page (a rarity for me)." --George Easter, "Deadly Pleasures" (Rating: A-)
"Mo Hayder . . . is back with the home invasion novel to end all home invasion novels, "Wolf". . . . Hayder neatly splits genres with this series, borrowing in equal measure from suspense and horror, not unlike John Connolly's Charlie Parker novels or T. Jefferson Parker's Charlie Hood books. "Wolf" is exceptionally original in premise and nightmarish in its rendering." --Bruce Tierney, "Bookpage"

"This grisly tale of a family held hostage cements Hayder's reputation as a queen of terror. Caffery is pitted against a chillingly evil villain whose brutal actions are both physical and psychological. Several skillfully interwoven plotlines culminate in a shocking ending. . . . A must-read for those who like their thrillers dark and gritty." --Joyce Morgan, "Romantic Times" (41/2 stars)
"Hayder . . . once again lures DI Jack Caffery into evil's morass. . . . Hayder's story is complex. . . . Sexual obsession, rejection as fuel for violence and revenge on the part of an arms dealer all add to a chilling, ominous atmosphere in which mangled characters lurk. . . . Another adventure for Caffery, a protagonist much like James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux or Paul Cleave's Theo Tate, doomed to work 'in the presence of evil.'" --"Kirkus Reviews"

"Perfectly and wonderfully paced, and imaginatively plotted and written . . . There are twists and turns aplenty here--not so many as to be confusing, but just enough to keep the reader reading incessantly from first sentence to last paragraph. . . . Read "Wolf"; you simply will never forgive yourself if you don't."--Joe Hartlaub, Bookreporter.com

Reseña del editor
Edgar Award winner and internationally best-selling author Mo Hayder has made her name with nightmarishly dark, impeccably-plotted thrillers that hook readers from the first page and won’t let them go. With her latest novel,Wolf, the frighteningly talented Hayder ratchets up the terror yet another notch, with a bone-chilling novel about a family held hostage in their country home.
Wolf kicks off when a vagrantthe Walking Man, an enigmatic, recurring character in Hayder’s fictionfinds a dog wandering alone with a scrap of paper with the words HELP US” attached to its collar. He’s sure it’s a desperate plea from someone in trouble and calls on Detective Inspector Jack Caffery to investigate. Caffery is reluctant to get involveduntil the Walking Man promises in exchange new information regarding the childhood disappearance of Caffery’s brother. Caffery has no idea who or what he is searching for, but one thing he is sure of: it’s a race against time.
Meanwhile, the Anchor-Ferrers, a wealthy local family, are fighting for their lives, held hostage in their remote home ten miles away. As their ordeal becomes increasingly bizarre and humiliating, the family begins to wonder: is this really a random crime?
