Werewolf Cop Summary
Zach Adams is one of the best detectives in the country. Nicknamed Cowboy, he’s a soft-spoken homicide detective known for his integrity and courage under fire. He serves on a federal task force that has a single mission: to hunt down Dominic Abend, a European gangster who has taken over the American underworld.After a brutal murder gives them a lead, Zach and his tough guy NYPD partner Martin Goulart are finally on Abend’s trail. But things get complicated — and very, very weird. Goulart’s on-the-job enemies are accusing him of corruption. And Zach is beginning to suspect that Abend’s evil goes beyond crime—perhaps to the edge of the supernatural. As his investigation continues in Germany, Zach finds himself lured into the impossible. 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 will kill again—in the form of a beast who can’t be controlled or stopped. Before he can free himself, he’s going to have to solve the greatest mystery of all: How can you defeat evil when the evil is inside you?

Werewolf Cop Review
4.0 out of 5 stars I’d write a good long review if I hadn’t stayed up late to finish this book

A great story, a fantastic theme, and an interesting plot. I recommend the book. You should buy it. You will enjoy it.
So why didn’t I give it five stars?
That’s a good question. Godric. Wuthering Heights. That Hideous Strength.
Those get five.
Now that I think about it, Werewolf Cop is somewhat similar to That Hideous Strength.
Good versus evil played out in the gray areas of the human heart, two partners struggling in different ways, and the denouement in a storm in a castle.
4.0 out of 5 stars Making Good and Evil Less Fuzzy (and at the Same Time, More Fuzzy)

Part mystery, part horror, this book moves at a good, almost cinematic pace that makes for a decent quick read. Klavan tells us the story of a decent, southern-born detective who gets swept up in the world of the supernatural with consequences far dire than he could even imagine even considering all he might have seen. An investigation into a worldwide organized crime boss turns down a path detective Zach Adams never could conceived, and he finds himself cursed with Lycanthropy. The story itself is engaging. Like any good mystery there are twists and turns, blind alleys and false leads, and a number of threads that intertwine by the end of the book in satisfying ways. The resolution had me both cheering on and exhorting the main character desperately — all inwardly of course. The neighbors complain if I enjoy my reading too vocally.
What makes this an excellent book is Klavan’s embrace of the concepts of good and evil in a world where such concepts seem outmoded. Instead, understanding both and coming to grips with that understanding are key to the resolution and ultimate defeat of the true antagonist of this story. Klavan does not pull his punches in this regard. Adams is a decent enough man, but with a few flaws – and one rather major indiscretion that threatens to destroy him. His understanding of good and evil is superficial. Sure, it’s there but it’s never anything that he has to think about. By solely following Adams in the narrative and forcing him to deal with this question of good and evil in stark reality (supernatural reality, I guess), he brings this question to the fore in a way that’s natural to the story.
