Book description
Eight years ago, the Austrian emergency services were called to the
scene of a bizarre car accident.
Eight years ago two mangled bodies were found in the snow not far
from the vehicle, clawed and chewed, it seemed, by some ferocious
animal.
Eight years ago something unspeakable took Gerontius Moore's parents
from him, leaving him orphaned and alone... And now, that something,
is back.
Caught up in a hunt he was never meant to be a part of, and finding
help from a most unlikely source, Gerontius must once more flee the
clutches of an appalling beast, before it learns its business is unfinished.
Full moon or not, the hunt is on.
Dean Carter began writing short stories at the age of fourteen. After
graduating from Thames Valley University with a degree in English and
Media Studies, he worked in sales and as a bookseller before getting a
job in the Post room at Transworld Publishers and Random House
Children's Books. His writing talent was spotted by his editor after she
read his company-wide emails. His first novel,
The Hand of the Devil
was published in 2006 to great critical acclaim. He lives in Hounslow,
Middlesex and still works in the Post room.
