From the global crime sensation comes a NEW gritty standalone thriller


This killer has a story.

When a small-time crook is shot down in the streets of Minneapolis, all signs point to a lone wolf, a sniper who has vanished into thin air.

To tell it, he needs to get caught.

When the shooter strikes again, it’s maverick detective Bob Oz they call in to crack the case. They don’t think this victim will be the last.

And this wolf wants the world to know...

As the body count rises, Oz suspects that something even more sinister is at play. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more disturbed he becomes. Because the serial killer reminds him of someone dangerous: himself.

He’s only just getting started.

Wolf Hour is a gritty, standalone thriller jam-packed with unexpected twists, dark secrets, and bubbling personal and political tension, from crime writing’s king of the cliffhanger.
