Longarm’s gone to the dogs… The town of Crazy Kate, once known as Little Bucharest, was renamed after Katarina Barkova not only went mad after a wolf killed her beau but—legend has it—turned into a werewolf. When Longarm rides in with a prisoner in tow, the townspeople have a haunted look in their eyes. His arrival coincides with the next full moon—and the outlaw with him bears the marks of a wolf attack. The local law may be armed to the teeth with silver bullets, but Longarm aims to get to the bottom of the werewolf legend. Accompanied by a frisky general’s daughter and his Winchester ’73, he’s ready for anything. But as the full moon rises, the lawman expects he’s in for a long night…and a whole pack of trouble.
