Werewolf

by Peter Rubie

Something is prowling the streets of World War II London. It goes hunting during the fires and turmoil of the Blitz when most people are dodging Nazi bombs. But this creature isn't deterred by the destruction or the carnage. As its victims start turning up shredded and gnawed, the East End community of Smiths Common becomes terrified of what might be preying on them. Only the gypsies will give it a name: werewolf.

Detective Sergeant George Llewellyn's assignment is to restore order to the chaos of the war, and solve a series of brutal child slaying. A victim of his own abused past, George is haunted by the killings. As the pieces of the puzzle fit together, he is forced to confront his own rage and a decade-old gypsy curse before he can stop the ravages of the werewolf....

Interesting thriller by an editor and author who had also decided to try being an agent (and was my agent for a short while), so I decided to read his book to try to get a better idea of his writing.
