It is a world much like our own, with one deadly difference: ninety-nine percent of the population is lycanthropic. When the full moon rises, humans transform into lunes, bloodthirsty beasts who cannot be reasoned with or tamed. Those few born unable to change are disparagingly known as barebacks, and live as victims of prejudice and oppression. All too often, they are targets of savage mauling and death by lunes who break the law to roam free on full-moon nights. Twenty something bareback Lola Galley is already a veteran of the Department for the Ongoing Regulation of Lycanthropic Activities. When her friend loses a hand to a marauding lune, then is murdered before the attacker is brought to trial, Lola is desperate to see justice prevail. But the truth is seldom simple–and Lola may not like the shocking answers she uncovers.
Una novela de intriga criminal en un mundo en el que los hombres lobo son mayoría. En una sociedad en la que gran parte de la población está formada por hombres lobo, Lola May -una abogada del impopular, pero necesario, servicio estatal que controla la licantropía- deberá resolver los asesinatos de dos de sus compañeros al tiempo que tratará de enderezar su solitaria vida marcada por los prejuicios y la discriminación. Las noches de luna llena las calles se pueblan de sombras y aullidos. Toda la ciudad aúlla a la luna, todos menos aquellos que nacieron con un defecto genético.
