Imagine getting a publisher for your first novel--then getting killed days after turning in your final revisions on it.
It happened to auxiliary cop Nicholas Pekearo, who was shot to death while he and a fellow auxiliary cop were following a man who'd shot a pizzeria worker in March 2007. Pekearo had just finished his story, THE WOLFMAN, about a small-town detective who transforms into a werewolf that "murders evildoers who can't be brought to justice any other way."
Novelist Andrew Vachss said the book was "a brilliant, insightful, overpowering debut" while Publishers Weekly described it as "a considerable achievement that should give this novel crossover appeal beyond crime and horror readers."
The novel was scheduled for release today.
