A werewolf in their midst . . .
A savage werewolf is loose in London, and identical twins Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield could be it's next targets. On assignment for the London Journal, the twins are on the trail of the most deadly killer since Jack the Ripper. When he ransaks their room and leaves telltale claw marks, the twins know they must capture the maniac before he captures - and kill's - them. Terrified, they follow the villian's tail, not suspecting that it's part of his deadly plot to lead them straight to his lair.
Luke, the quiet poet who has won Elizabeth's heart, has armed the twins with anti-werewolf potions and amulets. But when the moon is full, not even the strongest spell can protect them from the awesome powers of this legendary beast. Are Jessica and Elizabeth fated to die in London?
Gradually Elizabeth slipped back into a troubled sleep, only to be visited again by the nightmare she'd had as the full moon hung over Pembroke Manor, the night Joy Singleton was murdered in Jessica's bed. Elizabeth stood helpless as the werewolf chased her sister, as he grasped Jessica with hairy, muscular arms, as he bent with a howl near her throat wit his teeth . . .
Wait a minute . . . In her dream, Elizabeth heard the snarl close to her own ear; she felt the claws digging into her flesh, the hot breath against her throat, the point of a knife-sharp fang. This time the girl the werewolf was pursuing was herself.
