The Wolf: A Novel

In this thrilling novel by Lorenzo Carcaterraâ€”the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sleepers, Gangster, and Midnight Angelsâ€”organized crime goes to war with international terrorism in the name of one manâ€™s quest for revenge.
Â
My name is Vincent Marelli, though most people call me The Wolf. Youâ€™ve never met me, and if youâ€™re lucky you never will. But in more ways than you could think of, I own you.
Â
I run the biggest criminal operation in the world. Weâ€™re invisible but weâ€™re everywhere. Wherever you go, whatever you do, however it is you spend your money, a piece of it lands in our pockets.
Â
You would think that with that kind of power I would be invincible. You would be wrong. I made a mistake, one that a guy like me can never afford to make. I let my guard down. And because I did, my wife and daughters are gone. Murdered by terrorists with a lethal ax to grind.
Â
That was my mistake.
Â
But it was also theirs.
Â
I wasnâ€™t looking for a war with them. No one in my group was. But theyâ€™ve left me with nothing but a desire for revengeâ€”so a war is what theyâ€™ll get. The full strength of international organized crime against every known terrorist group working today. Crime versus chaos.
Â
We will protect our interests, and I will protect my son. We wonâ€™t get them all, but I will get my revenge, or I will die trying.
Â
They will know my name.
Â
They will feel my wrath.
Â
They will fear The Wolf.

BONUS: This edition includes Lorenzo Carcaterra's short story "The Vulture Game."

Praise for The Wolf

â€œLorenzo Carcaterra is one of my favorite writers in the world, and The Wolf is his best book yet. In it youâ€™ll meet the superbly crafted crime boss Vincent Marelliâ€”and then youâ€™ll spend this riveting read trying to decide whether Marelli, like Michael Corleone, is a hero or a villain. Pick up a copy of The Wolf and you wonâ€™t put it down until the surprise ending!â€â€”Lisa Scottoline, New York Times bestselling author of Accused
