A fast-paced, cinematic thriller about loyalty, revenge, and power within the global underworld.
 
In The Wolf, Lorenzo Carcaterra delivers a hard-hitting, intelligent thriller that blurs the line between justice and vengeance.
 
When the world’s most feared crime families lose loved ones in a coordinated attack, vengeance unites them in an unexpected alliance led by a man known only as The Wolf. Ruthless, brilliant, and calculating, he sets out to destroy the terrorist network responsible — and in doing so, challenges the balance of power that governs the criminal world.
 
After a devastating act of terrorism claims the lives of his family, Vincent Marelli — “The Wolf” — orchestrates a plan to eliminate those responsible, using his vast international crime syndicate as both sword and shield. But as he navigates betrayal, politics, and moral boundaries, Marelli begins to question whether revenge can ever bring redemption.
 
Tautly written and filled with action, intrigue, and emotional depth, The Wolf explores the darker side of loyalty and the blurred moral codes that drive men to extremes. Carcaterra’s sharp storytelling and insider’s view of organized crime create a thriller that’s both brutal and deeply human.
