A family's beloved country home becomes a nightmarish prison in the brilliant, terrifying seventh novel in internationally bestselling author Mo Hayder's Jack Caffery series.
A young girl comes across an injured dog in a park but doesn't tell anyone what the battered scrap of paper attached to its collar says: "Help us."
Oliver Anchor-Ferrers is recovering from heart surgery at his grand country home with his family when his wife discovers something horrifying in her beloved garden-a grisly sight all too reminiscent of the tragedy that traumatized the family fifteen years ago and haunts them still. It's impossible: how could they have let that man out of prison?
Meanwhile, detective Jack Caffery resolves to find out the true circumstances of his brother's disappearance and demands help from the one person he knows can lead him in the right direction. But that help will come at a price.
Wolf is a story full of mind-bending twists and turns and Mo Hayder's signature blend of psychological insight, sinister atmosphere and terrifying suspense. A perfect introduction to the world of Jack Caffery or a hugely satisfying treat for long-time fans, this is a brilliant and compulsively readable masterwork from one of the world's best thriller writers.
The sensational new Jack Caffery thriller from Mo Hayder, bestselling author of Gone and Poppet. Who's afraid?
I believe, from what I can hear, that either my daughter or my wife has just been attacked. I don't know the outcome. The house is silent.
Fourteen years ago two teenage lovers were brutally murdered in a patch of remote woodland. The prime suspect confessed to the crimes and was imprisoned.
Now, one family is still trying to put the memory of the killings behind them. But at their isolated hilltop house . . . the nightmare is about to return.

Hardback. Etat : Fair. A] destined-to-be classic . . . Hayder's work and characters are worth the unending nightmares they will inspire.--The New York Times Book Review Edgar Award winner and international best-seller Mo Hayder is known for her nightmarishly dark, impeccably-plotted thrillers. In Wolf, now in paperback, Hayder ratchets up the terror yet another notch with a bone-chilling novel about a family held hostage in their country home. When a vagrant--the Walking Man, a recurring character in Hayder's fiction--finds a dog wandering alone with a scrap of paper with the words HELP US attached to its collar, he's sure it's a desperate plea from someone in trouble and calls on Detective Inspector Jack Caffery to investigate. Caffery is reluctant to get involved--until the Walking Man promises in exchange new information regarding the childhood disappearance of Caffery's brother. Meanwhile, the Anchor-Ferrers, a wealthy local family, are fighting for their lives in their remote home ten miles away. As their ordeal becomes increasingly bizarre and humiliating, the family begins to wonder: is this really a random crime, or have they been chosen for a reason? The home invasion novel to end all home invasion novels . . . Not unlike John Connolly's Charlie Parker novels or T. Jefferson Parker's Charlie Hood books. Wolf is exceptionally original in premise and nightmarish in its rendering. --BookPage Mo Hayder is a master of ratcheting up tension throughout a book--to the point that one must simply finish it before doing anything else. Such is the case with Wolf. --Deadly Pleasures (Rating: A-) Mo Hayder's books featuring Jack Caffery are always an entertaining and engaging read, and this one doesn't disappoint.--Euro Crime.
