In Sam Cabot’s
exhilarating new novel, a vicious murder in Sotheby’s begins a series of inexplicable events surrounding an Iroquois ritual mask — and a secret
that could unleash the most terrifying chaos and destruction the world
has ever seen.
Father Thomas Kelly, art historian Livia Pietro,
and scholar Spencer George shared shocking, life-changing events in
Blood of the Lamb; in that thriller, Father Kelly learned of the
existence of the Noantri — a community of vampires — and that Livia and
Spencer were among them. Now, a year later, all three are together again in New York City where Livia is attending a conference on Native
American art. But when Spencer is attacked in Central Park by a wolf,
the trio are thrown deep into a world where money, Native American lore, and the doctrines of the Catholic Church collide, revealing an alarming secret: the wolf is a Shapeshifter. He is searching for a sacred
Iroquois mask with power that, badly wielded, could destroy millions of
lives. But as they enter the search for the mask, the three narrowly
escape becoming the Shapeshifter’s prey. Will they be able to prevent
catastrophe from rising with the next full moon?
In Skin of the
Wolf, Sam Cabot weaves riveting suspense into a world that blends
historical fact with his signature all-encompassing alternate reality.
It is a heart-stopping novel in which the Noantri discover they aren't
the only humans set apart by their natures: there are Others.
