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?

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Werewolf Cop moves like a freight train―a classic white-knuckled police procedural with the chills of a midnight horror movie, and the best kind of old-fashioned hero at the center. I loved it.”
- Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of 'Paranoia'

“The most original American novelist of crime and suspense since Cornell Woolrich.”
- Stephen King

“Be warned: this book is loaded with provocations. The French have Michel Houellebecq; here in the US of A, we have Andrew Klavan. Werewolf Cop is his best book yet, one that starts with a rush and never lets up, dark and funny, with the bittersweet taste of the knowledge of good and evil.”
- Books and Culture

“Though the title might suggest more lighthearted fare, make no mistake, this is a gritty crime novel at heart. Klavan is a suspense expert, building slowly through the first half of the book and then setting a rapid, tense pace for the second. And for all of that, Klavan also infuses the text with a plentiful wry humor.”
- Foreword Reviews

“Fans of contemporary monster tales will be taken with Klavan's thriller.”
- Kirkus Reviews

“Klavan winds his tale tighter and tighter until the reader is hopelessly spellbound. Superb suspense by a master storyteller.”
- Clive Cussler

“Werewolf Cop grabs the reader by the throat and doesn’t let go until the very end. The writing is crisp and descriptive. Straight-arrow Zach Adams has his flaws and moments of doubt. The other characters are also fully-rounded. This good read will send shivers up your spine.”
- AuthorLink.com

“Klavan has a knack for creating relentless, fast-paced narratives, and this thriller-horror hybrid is no exception.”
- Booklist

“The two Edgars Klavan owns testify to his excellence at thrillers.”
- Publishers Weekly

“A modern masterpiece of hardboiled horror, featuring a hero who feels like he stepped out of a Raymond Chandler novel.”
- John J. Miller, author of 'The First Assassin'

Werewolf novella wrapped up in a right-wing worldview

Werewolf novella wrapped up in a right-wing worldview
I have read a lot of werewolf books lately and while few have been good, none have been as bad as Werewolf Cop. At the end of chapter 4, I could tell there was more to this book than I had initially expected. I searched the author on the web and discovered he is a somewhat prominent conservative commentator. I probably should have stopped there but I continued reading until I finished it. I do feel Werewolf Cop could have been a good werewolf novella if he had left all the right-wing talking points out of it, but he didn’t. He plastered so many of the 296 pages with material such as the cop’s perfect Proverbs 31 wife, all politicians are corrupt, immigrants are evil, journalists are liars and civilization is on the road to ruin. This book is copyrighted in 2015 and on page 193, the author writes about the corpses of the victims of the bad guy: “…They were men and women both. They were white and col**ed…” When was the last time you read a present-day book use the word “col**ed” to describe people? It wasn’t historical and it wasn’t to show a racist person, this was the author’s characterization. The only thing I feel good about having bought this book is that while it was on my list of books to buy at Amazon, before I bought it, I found it first at a used bookstore for $1.99 and the author doesn’t get a penny of it. And now it is in the garbage.

5.0 out of 5 stars The title doesn't do this book justice!
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2023

This book is fantastic, imaginative, well written, has a really great plot, the characters are perfect (by which I mean flawed and believable), but is cursed with an incredibly unfortunate title! Don't let the title fool you, this is a great read. If you are a Dean Koontz fan you will love Werewolf Cop. I would love to see a series of books by Andrew Klavan built off this book. This is a gem hidden under a very poor title!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Saw A Werewolf Cop With A Chinese Menu In His Hand...
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2015
Verified Purchase
Before I rave about Werewolf Cop I need to disclose I was already an Andrew Klavan fan before reading this book. That said, I did not begin the book when it arrived because I'm not allured by monsters or magic when making a reading selection. I feared a story about a cop who transforms into a werewolf might require too much suspension of reason for me too enjoy the book. Monsters are for kids. Klavan's noir detective work, especially the Shotgun Alley characters Weiss and Bishop, are what originionally attracted me to his work. I like my lead characters cynical and depressed, cracking wise. But I do enjoy the humorous self-aware style of Klavan's writing, even when reading his Young Adult novels, so I decided to give Werewolf Cop a try. I started reading last night and discovered I could not put the book down. I should not have been discouraged by the Werewolf story line because like all good monster stories, Werewolf Cop is a book about the battle between good and evil. I started this book thinking about Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London but the tune soon changed to Sympathy For the Devil because just like in the Rolling Stones song, evil in Werewolf Cop likes to travel through time. Without spoiling the ending, you can trust me here, the suspense builds with each turn of the page. No matter your pro-werewolf or anti- werewolf bias, this book will appeal to anyone who enjoys a suspenseful drama, a crime novel or just a good clarification of their personal values. Werewolf Cop was a fulfilling read on multiple levels.

4.0 out of 5 stars Making Good and Evil Less Fuzzy (and at the Same Time, More Fuzzy)
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2016
Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, painful, and realistic!
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2015
Verified Purchase
Andrew Klavan writes some of the most brilliant, agonizing prose, with insightful, visceral, merciless plotting that, like the terrible claws of the werewolf, will hook into you, your thoughts, your beliefs, your imagination, and will not let go of you until he's dragged you to the terrifying, emotional, and thoroughly satisfying ending. This is another excellent work.

Klavan's meticulous research supports the realistic and effective dialog -- for an all too brief moment, you'll be a cop, too -- good, bad, political, crooked, honest... They're all around you. And, until Klavan works effortlessly into the supernatural nature of Good and Evil, they feel like the full range of possibilities. But once he dives into a World gone Mad, it pushes the range of that experience down into the "little leagues" of a smaller world, and he describes Good and Bad to depths and heights that you may hope -- or fear -- that you can escape or avoid.

Relentless, frightening, and strangely addictive, this is yet another Klavan masterpiece. It's a "must buy", "must read"!

This was a unique crime/mystery. I really liked the suspense, the value of sacrifice in spite of our fallen nature, the power of the struggle in our free will, the mercy and redemption depicted in this story. It was unique and pretty awesome.

3.0 out of 5 stars Higher Hopes Dashed
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2015

I love Andrew Klavan and was happy to buy and read his fiction for the first time. Sadly, although the word-smithing was excellent, the story itself was just ok. It began well, depicting a bleak world on the edge of disaster, with violence and evil rapidly advancing - then some more of that - more - more bleak violent world that unaffected Americans are mostly ignoring (some commentary there I think)- all in the background of the main story about a good man, a good husband, albeit a human wracked with guilt over one big sinful act, who must somehow defeat the Evil and save the world . . . with his werewolf power! Sounds awesome, right? But not. It was overdone - too much, too superficial, too long and then . . . . everything's ok. World saved. But rather than feeling triumphant, I felt battered and happy to be done with it. Like eating your spinach as a child. So, although an imaginative good vs evil tale with a Christian worldview (a plus for me), containing a wonderfully written depiction of a man's love for his wife, this book is also filled with gore and yuck and vileness, there was not much suspense and by the end, just meh.

4.0 out of 5 stars The VERY bleeding obvious
Reviewed in Australia on October 19, 2015
Verified Purchase
Err... okay. I have to admit that when I saw this title I thought this would turn out to be a story about a cop who becomes a werewolf. So I'm clairvoyant, get over it.Yep, that's it though - a cop gets bitten by a werewolf and you know the rest. Another pulp effort you'll be thinking. But... no. This is Klavan. The Andrew Klavan. Okay, so it's not a patch on 'The Animal Hour' and his other earlier work, but it's not half bad either. Certainly it's better than his 'Homelanders' series which probably represents (except to prepubescent teenage boys probably) his lowest point creatively. But AK is such a superior writer that he actually pulls this off. A werewolf is a scary thing but AK demonstrates that Human Nature is monstrous by comparison. A horror novel beast doesn't have to have cloven hooves or nasty teeth. All in all, a great read with a few surprises and surprisingly rounded characters.Enjoyable if not amazing.
