This is the sensational new Jack Caffery thriller from Mo Hayder, bestselling author of Gone and Poppet. Who's afraid? I believe, from what I can hear, that either my daughter or my wife has just been attacked. I don't know the outcome. The house is silent. Fourteen years ago two teenage lovers were brutally murdered in a patch of remote woodland. The prime suspect confessed to the crimes and was imprisoned. Now, one family is still trying to put the memory of the killings behind them. But at their isolated hilltop house ...the nightmare is about to return.

Success was something of a double-edged sword for Mo Hayder. Her debut novel Birdman enjoyed astonishing sales, but called down a fearsome wrath on the author for unflinchingly entering the blood-spattered territory of Thomas Harris’ Hannibal books. Part of the fuss was clearly to do with the fact that a woman writer had handled scenes of horror and violence so authoritatively. Wolf is another highly impressive entry, streets away from the cosy reassurance of most current crime fiction. Once again, Hayder’s protagonist Jack Cafferey is characterised with particular skill, and Hayder has him dealing with the residue of the murder of two teenage lovers. The personal involvement of a copper in a grim case is an over-familiar theme, but it’s rarely been dispatched with the panache and vividness on display here. So Mo Hayder admirers can purchase with confidence.
