A werewolf among us

About this book

Baker St. Cyr is no ordinary detective. Part man and part machine, he wears a bio-computer shell that plugs directly into his body, fusing cold mathematical logic with human intuition. Together they form a cyberdetective, one of the sharpest investigative minds in the galaxy. Summoned to Darma, a lush resort planet reserved for the extremely wealthy, St. Cyr is met by a polite master robot and escorted to the estate of the powerful Alderban family. A world this serene should hold no secrets, yet a case is waiting for him, and it is one that mixes ancient terror with futuristic technology. Dean Koontz, the bestselling author of suspense and horror, delivers an early genre-blending novel that combines the classic detective story with science fiction and a touch of the macabre. Expect a locked-circle mystery, wealthy suspects, intelligent machines and the uneasy question of what, exactly, is human. First published by Ballantine Books in 1973, A Werewolf Among Us is a fast-paced read of about 49,000 words across 21 short chapters, ideal for fans of science fiction mysteries, robot detective tales and vintage paperback thrillers.
