Wolf By Night (Paperback)

Paperback. (Wyatt is the first to approach the cell, but the force of the door bursting from its hinges sends him tumbling backward over the desk, with the door landing on him, caught at the edge of the desk. The noise draws the attention of everyone outside, yet no one moves to investigate. Inside, Doc Holliday and Luke Short have their weapons drawn and aimed at the cell, but they freeze at the sight unfolding before them: a wolf slowly emerges, its head lowered to fit its large body through the opening. Its eyes blaze with a fiery red hue, and its teeth snarl, fueled by a seething anger coursing through it. An insatiable hunger for fresh meat gnaws at its insides. Holliday fires two shots, one hitting the wolf's shoulder and the other striking the iron bars. The wolf quickly turns to Holliday, catching the scent of the tuberculosis that afflicts him, before its head swings toward Luke. Doc drops his .38 to the ground and, turning, lifts the double-barreled shotgun to his shoulder. Luke manages to fire off three rounds just as the wolf pounces on him.) In the vibrant 1880s Old West, indigenous people spoke of incredible shapeshifting beings called werewolves, known as the Amarok, that roamed the lands across America and the Wild West. Angus is back in Tombstone with an exciting plan to breathe new life into the wolf population! He has identified some bold young men, such as Jesse and Frank James, the Youngers, and Billy the Kid. Yet, as with any grand adventure, challenges lie ahead. Wyatt Earp and his brothers, along with legendary figures like Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson, Luke Short, Geronimo, Calamity Jane, and Wild Bill Hickok, are set to cross his path. While the Amarok is real, so are the most renowned lawmen in history, alongside notorious characters like Johnny Ringo, Sherman McMasters, Curly Bill Brocius, Ike and Billy Clanton, the McLaury's, and so many others. The Wild West is on the edge of becoming even more wild!After departing from Tombstone, Angus makes his way to New York City during the Victorian era. There, Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt faces the challenge of overhauling the police department due to a string of murders believed to have been committed by an animal. Yet, he is not alone in his quest for the killer; J.P. Morgan, the wealthy entrepreneur, seeks to capture the mythical creature for his own benefit. Throughout this journey, some of the most brilliant minds and influential figures in history join the fray, including Thomas Edison, Harry Houdini, Arthur Conan Doyle, and others.
