Evening Wolves is the tale of several characters who are connected by a murder that occurs at a mansion one night. A young woman is found dead from a single puncture wound in her neck. Erland is a man who lives for his job as a detective, so much so that he has no romantic life to speak of. When Homeland Security bursts in on the case and suspends him from it, he can't help but feel the situation is fishy and get involved. A man wakes up in a room right in front of the dead lady. He has no idea who is or why he's there, but he beats a hasty retreat when he hears cops approach. His side of the story involves piecing together fragments of his memory and clues to find out what he was doing at that mansion that night. There cast is rounded out by more cops, a woman who meets the amnesiac man, and a group of people who seem to be working with Jupiter, an infamous terrorist.The writing is pretty good and the author uses creative metaphors to paint vivid images. Much of the story vacillates back and forth between different character's perspectives from chapter to chapter. The initial mystery of how the woman died and the greater significance of the murder are tasty prospects to bite into. Evening Wolves is filled with thrills, a hint of romance, and twists. The editing is also pretty good, and I didn't notice many errors. The large cast also keeps things fresh, as many of them are interesting or fleshed out and help move the story along. Overall I found Evening Wolves to be a compelling and satisfying thriller.
