"[A] destined-to-be classic . . . Hayder's work and characters are worth the unending nightmares they will inspire."--The New York Times Book Review Edgar Award winner and international best-seller Mo Hayder is known for her nightmarishly dark, impeccably-plotted thrillers. In Wolf, now in paperback, Hayder ratchets up the terror yet another notch with a bone-chilling novel about a family held hostage in their country home. When a vagrant--the Walking Man, a recurring character in Hayder's fiction--finds 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 involved--until the Walking Man promises in exchange new information regarding the childhood disappearance of Caffery's brother. Meanwhile, the Anchor-Ferrers, a wealthy local family, are fighting for their lives 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, or have they been chosen for a reason? "The home invasion novel to end all home invasion novels . . . 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." --BookPage "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." --Deadly Pleasures (Rating: A-) "Mo Hayder's books featuring Jack Caffery are always an entertaining and engaging read, and this one doesn't disappoint."--Euro Crime

When I took a vacation to Mexico, I never could have imagined the deadly game of hunter and prey waiting for me... Kidnapped by the cartel along with my friends, I'm thrust into a brutal world where survival depends on submission. Matias, one of the cartel's most feared enforcers, also known as the wolf, is tasked with breaking me. He's wild, untamed, and fixated on me. Every instinct screams to hate him and resist, but he's relentless, stalking me like a predator. In the midst of this nightmare, I begin to see another side of Matias beneath his savage exterior. His primal nature both terrifies and mesmerizes me, igniting a forbidden attraction that defies reason. While I struggle to maintain control, the line between captor and captive fades, and I find myself caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. When the leader of the cartel is murdered by her second in command, a chance for escape emerges. With the help of the new leader, Matias, and his brother Thiago, we make a daring bid for freedom. But Matias isn't ready to let me go. He follows me into my world, determined to claim me as his own. I insist our twisted bond can't survive outside the nightmare we shared, but he's resolute. Love, especially one born from such primal instincts, doesn't follow the rules. Wolf is the Sixth book in the Once Upon a Villain Series by Bianca Cole. This dark, cartel captive mafia romance explores themes that may be disturbing to some readers. No cliffhanger and a happily-ever-after ending means this book can be read as a standalone.
