Publisher's Summary

Zach Adams is one of the best detectives in the country. Nicknamed Cowboy, he serves on a federal task force that has a single mission: to hunt down Dominic Abend, a European gangster.

After a brutal murder gives them a lead, Zach feels like he's finally on Abend's trail. But things get complicated and very, very weird. Zach is beginning to suspect that Abend's evil goes beyond crime - perhaps to the edge of the supernatural.

In a centuries-old forest under a full moon, a beast assaults him, cursing him forever. In the aftermath Zach is transformed into something horrible - something deadly. Now the good cop has innocent blood on his hands. He has killed - and he will kill again - in the form of a beast that can't be controlled or stopped.

Best in moral fantasy since CS Lewis!

This is the first book by Mr. Klavan that I have read and I cannot wait to take in all the rest of his bibliography!! What a great introduction to his writing!
The story started out a little slow, film-noir style, but quickly developed into a "movie in your head" type thriller, demanding your full attention. A bit predictable at times, but nonetheless gripping and powerful, it tied together undeniable modern-day evils with timeless human strivings, pushing through towards faith, hope and goodness. A good vs evil yarn presented in a unique new light. This is definitely one I will remember and revisit. Bravo, Klavan!

It's not about the fall, but the recovery.

Werewolf Cop is the story of a detective trying to bring down a villain who's larger than life while both the detective's personal world and the world at large are burning down around him. His determination and conviction are balanced against his shame and pride to steer him down a path that will change him forever.

Andrew Klavan, as author and narrator, brings this fantastic story to life. The story is well written, engaging, comical, and thought provoking. Some of the most personal struggles a man can face are addressed in a frank manner that emphasizes the plot rather than seeming to preach. Characters are a fantastic blend of fitting a stereotype on the surface, but still having depth that makes them real and unique. The pacing carries the story phenomenally well, but may make the book a bit too hard to put down at times.

Even a good man can make a mistake. It's not the lack of mistakes that makes him good. Rather, it's what he does afterward that determines the quality of his character. Everyone is flawed. With faith, those flaws can be overcome.

Still wait for the sequel!

Interesting and twist on usual cop story. Great potential from an out of left field author. Three years and still waiting for the follow up sequel.

Ignore The Title. Amazing Book.

Please ignore the very very stupid title of the book. It is a very well written, very well narrated, serious story that has great characters and a great story. Well Worth your time.

Made even better by the author’s narration

I have long been a fan of Andrew Klavan having been a subscriber to The Daily Wire and listening to his podcast. I have also read several of his books, and book series, and really enjoy each one. He has such a talent for weaving the reader into each story as only he can. I have thought about subscribing to Audible for some time, so decided to give it a trial run and picked this book as the sample. I have looked at this title before but always assumed it was a horror story of some type (hence why you should not just read the headlines!). It was also a nice surprise to hear the author narrating, I mean, who needs Michael Knowles? (Another Kingdom series - SUPERB series!!). JK, he did a great job. Anyway, I highly recommend this book, or any book by Andrew Klavan, and if you haven’t already, go ahead and subscribe to The Andrew Klavan podcast. All excellent!!

Klavan delivers profundity in a werewolf story.

This is a really great piece of writing and hearing it read by the author adds important tone and emotion. The title may turn away listeners who would thoroughly enjoy the well developed characters Klavan has created. There are profound moments within and they’re set up artfully. Highly recommended

Excellent, different

I was skeptical about my ability to enjoy a werewolf story but I like cop stories. It was delightful. I plan to read more of Klavan’s work to see if they are all so well written and unique. Good plot, well written characters and I couldn’t put it down.

Great

Really entertaining. Finished it in 3 days. That's how much the story made me want to come back to hear what happens next. Again i think this story is GREAT!!

Surprisingly Addictive Tale

The author takes a fantastic story and makes you ride it all the way to the end. I was hooked at the first chapter and suspended disbelief without notice. Great story.

Excellent!

Andrew Klavan does a great job with all the voices, the story, and everything else.
