Some people are afraid there's a wild animal on the loose, savagely tearing its victims apart. Others, like Nick Lupo, know better. Lupo knows a werewolf attack when he sees one. He should, since he's a werewolf himself, though he's been able to control his urges and maintain his secret. He's also a homicide cop, so it may be up to him to hunt down one of his own kind. It looks like there's a new werewolf in town, a rogue out only for blood. But looks can be deceiving.
Raves and Reviews
"WOLF'S GAMBIT is that rare accomplishment in horror of a sequel that not only surpasses the power of the original but turns your expections against you at every turn... W.D. Gagliani['s] most unpredictable, accomplished, and rewarding novel to date. His writing has never been crisper, his suspense never more nerve-wracking, and his dry humor so consistently refreshing. If you think you know what you'll be getting, trust me, you're wrong. Gagliani is fashioning an epic werewolf cycle here, one filled with terror, passion, violence, surprisingly affecting sensuality, and enough fantastical twists and turns to satisfy even the most jaded horror reader. Put your preconceptions aside and get ready for one hell of a ride." --Bram Stoker Award-winning author Gary A. Braunbeck
"A great big bloody beast of a book that entralls the reader on multiple levels. Vicious, gory, sexy, fascinating -- part-supernatural thriller, part-police procedural, pure dynamite!" --Edward Lee, author of THE GOLEM
"If you're looking for the same-ol'-same-ol' werewolf story, W.D. Gagliani's WOLF'S GAMBIT is definitely not for you. Gagliani takes a rehashed theme and breathes new life into it with a cast of memorable characters and relentless suspense. He masterfully weaves sensuality and horror throughout the story, taking the reader on a journey that redefines 'love at all costs.' WOLF'S GAMBIT is one book you won't put down, and it's a story you'll never forget."--Deborah LeBlanc, bestselling author of WATER WITCH
"WOLF'S GAMBIT is the equivalent of a North Woods rollercoaster -- with each brutal twist the body count rises, but you never want the ride to end! The one goes for the throat over and over again, and as you slip through the slayings... in a desperate race against time, the pages seem to turn themselves! I couldn't put it down!"--John Everson, author of SACRIFICE
"WOLF'S GAMBIT is a real nail-biter of a werewolf book. Absolutely first rate!"-- Jonathan Maberry, Author of THE WOLFMAN, ZOMBIE CSU, and THEY BITE
"Sexually electric and graphically horrific, Mr. Gagliani's second novel starring werewolf detective Nick Lupo brings an incisive noir edge the wolfman's story."-The Tomb of Dark Delights"WOLF'S GAMBIT is a well-written piece of fiction that contains scenes of real horror. With well-realized characters and a plot that's tight and sharp, it's a very pleasurable read."-Dread Central
"...a contemporary Wolf Cycle that is nothing short of a no-holds-barred thrill ride....WOLF'S GAMBIT is a lusty page turner packed with murder, mystery, sex, and unpredictable plot twists that keep the reader on the edge of his seat..."-Dark Scribe Magazine
"...WOLF'S GAMBIT will keep you entetained..."-Bookgasm
"This is truly shaping out to be a great series and I'm greatly anticipating book three. Highly recommended!" -Monster Librarian
"Wolf's Trap was a great read, but with Wolf's Gambit Gagliani has moved on leaps and bounds. The writing is more assured with a sense of revisiting old friends yet still adding plenty more into the mix... Gagliani has taken themes we are familiar with and given them a fresh twist, leaving the reader howling for more." --Fatally Yours
