In this thrilling novel by Lorenzo Carcaterra the #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "Sleepers, Gangster, " and "Midnight Angels "organized crime goes to war with international terrorism in the name of one man s quest for revenge.
My name is Vincent Marelli, though most people call me The Wolf. You ve never met me, and if you re lucky you never will. But in more ways than you could think of, I own you.
I run the biggest criminal operation in the world. We re invisible but we re everywhere. Wherever you go, whatever you do, however it is you spend your money, a piece of it lands in our pockets.
You would think that with that kind of power I would be invincible. You would be wrong. I made a mistake, one that a guy like me can never afford to make. I let my guard down. And because I did, my wife and daughters are gone. Murdered by terrorists with a lethal ax to grind.
That was "my" mistake.
But it was also "theirs."
I wasn t looking for a war with them. No one in my group was. But they ve left me with nothing but a desire for revenge so a war is what they ll get. The full strength of international organized crime against every known terrorist group working today. Crime versus chaos.
We will protect our interests, and I will protect my son. We won t get them all, but I will get my revenge, or I will die trying.
They will know my name.
They will feel my wrath.
They will fear The Wolf.

Lorenzo Carcaterra is one of my favorite writers in the world, and "The Wolf" is his best book yet. In it you ll meet the superbly crafted crime boss Vincent Marelli and then you ll spend this riveting read trying to decide whether Marelli, like Michael Corleone, is a hero or a villain. Pick up a copy of "The Wolf" and you won t put it down until the surprise ending Lisa Scottoline, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Accused"
