"Southern France, early 21st century. A shadowy figure sneaks across the rooftops. The fangs, the pointy ears, the fierce demeanor, the hair-- is this the latest addition to the ranks of the urban werevolves so famed in movies and comic books?

But when the real werewolves of Montpellier catch wind of his impersonation, he gets a few more thrills than he bargained for on the next full moon" -- p. [4] of cover.
