When a hiker is found slain in the remote Adirondack Mountains, followed by another, the authorities are baffled. The only connection between the two crimes is that both men were murdered during the full moon. Superstitious townsfolk contend that a reclusive, inbred family of werewolves are responsible. With lycanthropy as his only lead, Head Park Ranger Randall Jessup appeals to his old schoolmate and now famous paranormal expert Jeremy Logan. Logan, the renowned "enigmologist," once again sets out to find the truth behind the impossible. Intriguing scientific exposition and the distinctly atmospheric setting of upstate New York add a little something more to this supernatural whodunit. Readers will be satisfied with the twist ending. The mystery is more cerebral than violent, and there is no romance for this masculine hero and the predominantly male cast. Though the book is part of the "Jeremy Logan" series, those who are unfamiliar with the other titles won't have trouble immersing themselves in this novel.
VERDICT Recommend to those seeking a quick, suspenseful read and to fans of James Patterson, Michael Crichton, and Child and Douglas Preston's "Pendergast" series.
