The Pack
by Jason Starr
Ace, $25.95, 331 pp
Jason Starr is also the author of Panic Attack.

Simon Burns is a PR man whose job has stressed him out and his marriage is having problems. When his job is eliminated without warning and friends isolate him, he attempts to be a stay-at-home dad. But the strain gets to him. Things change when he meets a trio of other dads, strong and confident, at the playground and is drawn into their group. But when a boy’s night out turns into a nightmare and he kills his former boss, he finds his reality changing and out of control and the name of the group, The Pack, has a whole different meaning.

When he tells his wife he may be turning into a werewolf, she doesn't believe him and sends him to a psychiatrist.

Starr leaves us hanging as to an ending with a sequel in the works. [I hate not having closure] but he is an excellent writer with characters that draw you into a world not unlike our own to the point where you feel their emotions. It is definitely worth the read and I suspect I'll be looking for the conclusion when published. ~~ Pam Allan
