Sebastiano Cangio #3
Lone Wolf
The discovery of a mutilated body near Stansted airport leads the British police to Perugia, Italy, in the gripping new Sebastiano Cangio thriller.
When a badly burned and mutilated body is discovered near Stansted airport, a single piece of evidence leads the police to Perugia, Italy. As he knows the region better than anyone, park ranger Sebastiano Cangio is assigned to assist British detective Desmond Harris in his efforts to uncover the dead man’s identity, and to find out what he was doing in Perugia.
Meanwhile, it would appear that something monstrous is on the loose in the forests of Umbria. Livestock is found ripped apart; unearthly screams are heard at night. Could there be any truth to the rumours of werewolves?
Sebastiano is more concerned at uncovering evidence of the return of the dreaded ‘ndrangheta, the most feared criminal organization in Italy. They’ve tried to kill him before. And Seb knows they will try to kill him again

Ok, so does anyone else get nervous when a book starts of with a list of characters? Unfortunately I do. For me it means lots of characters and they all play a part.
I felt the introductions to the characters went on for too long but I also understand why. But and it's a big but... did I really need to know it all then?
I enjoyed the book even though I felt it fell flat for me. The introductions made my expectations higher.
Hope you enjoy it more.

A good, gritty thriller. Some great descriptive writing, particularly about some of the more gruesome scenes. I couldn't get one out of my head for a few days...knowing how heavy billiard balls are! 😨
I thought that the way the story was divided up into different places, namely Italy and London was good. I liked the history of the myth of werewolves that ran underneath the story.
The characters were good, Seb the park ranger, the authoritative Italian police chief and the bungling English detective who turned out to be not such a 'plod' in the end, I liked them all and wanted to read on.
I was saddened by the Brexit undertone in the book and the author makes an excellent point about the difficulties that our police force may have post March 2019...one still lives in hope that the U.K. will come to it's senses.
All in all I would definitely recommend this to both men and women, I found it a great
and relatively quick read,well it was for me as I read it into the early hours.
Thank you to NetGalley, Michael Gregoria and publishers Seven House for the opportunity to read this ARC for an honest opinion

Somewhat Interesting but a complicated read.
I always get worried when there’s a list of characters at the beginning of a book as it normally means that there are going to be a lot of similar and complicated names to remember.
The story mostly takes place in Umbria in Italy. Mysterious dead bodies are found in Italy and England. This is a little bit of a detective story mixed with mafia and wolves.
The thing that turns me off is the killing of a dog and injured wolves suffering which is really are not needed for the story and normally I would not continue reading a book where a dog is killed.
Even though this book leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth the story is ok, well-written and moves at a good pace but I feel that it could be more detailed and involved.

I liked the story and the book....however I have read all of the Hanno series books and liked them as well so I am maybe biased.

The introduction took a long time to introduce us to all the people and events involved. And when it all did come together, it felt flat and confusing. The characters were not very realistic and the plot really didn't keep my interest.
