In the Den of Wolves
History’s deadliest killer set a record. A monster is determined to break it.
“The Contender” travels the country in a white Econoline van, perfecting his methods, collecting victims, and chasing 138 — the mark that will place him above the greatest serial killer of all time. He is invisible because he is ordinary, lethal because he is patient, and increasingly fixated on the one detective who has begun to see him.
San Francisco homicide inspector Tyson Ford stumbles onto the faintest trace of The Contender while investigating a case that should have led somewhere else entirely. What begins as instinct soon becomes obsession. Ford sees a pattern no one else believes is there, and once he catches sight of it, he refuses to let go — even as the killer begins reshaping his plans around the detective pursuing him.
In the Den of Wolves is a relentless, darkly funny, character-driven thriller about obsession, visibility, and the monsters hidden in plain sight.
