Since she was a little girl she learned to believe in animals` instinct. Early in the morning the SheWolf came to her door yelping continuously, pulling her dress, pushing her out with the jaw. It was spring, but here on top of the mountain, the nature revived much later. The earth was still frozen, big patches of snow could be seen everywhere. Cold was penetrating bones.

Some stories are told, others are not, the best ones are rewritten. Stories are told of the sphinx-a monster with the head of a woman, the body of a lioness, the wings of an eagle, and a tail tipped with the head of a serpent. This beast was told to have been made to guard the entrance to the Greek city of Thebes. For each traveler to cross her path, a riddle was presented. If they could answer it correctly, access would be granted. What was her riddle? "What is the creature that walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three in the evening?" The price to pay for answering the riddle incorrectly, which of course they all did, was not a simple denial of entry to Thebes. Instead of turning them away, the sphinx, monster that was, strangled them with her tail and devoured them whole. The story goes that when it finally came to pass that someone could answer her riddle and the consecutive ones to follow, she committed suicide. What else was a girl to do? Some say she threw herself down from the high rocks and fell to her death, while others say that she devoured herself, subjecting herself to the same punishment she dished out to all those who had failed before, a talented feat. However, the question remains ... what really happened to her?

The first thing you should know about me is that I am dead … Death. It comes to us all, even to you, one day. When death slips its hand around your tired hand, you will welcome the cold touch, I promise you. It is the leveller, the constant ... the one thing none of us can avoid. The rich, the poor, the gifted and the lame; we are all alike in death. Death is equal. Death is pure. Three tales wind through She-Wolf, each following the path of a different character. Ryder De Winter, the illegitimate son of Rafael De Winter, born with too much to prove. Tabitha Larch, a child forced into marriage with the cold and callous chieftain, Ares Wolfsnare, her innocence sacrificed to unify the two most powerful elven tribes on the Isle. And the She-Wolf, whose tale is as strange as she is … Three strands, seemingly unconnected, finally join together to become one, in this, the seventh book in the Isle of Dreams series.

Included in CrimeReads's list of February's Best International Crime Fiction Included in Chicago Review of Books's list of Winter's Best Thrillers Included in CBC Radio's The Homestretch's Fall 2019 Mystery Selections "Bellini and the Sphinx is the American debut for the wildly popular Sao Paulo-based crime series written by Bellotto, the celebrated Brazilian guitarist and writer. His private eye, Remo Bellini, is a conscious homage to Philip Marlowe and the classic noir American detectives, but with an identity all his own and a milieu, the streets of Sao Paulo, that are as alive and mysterious as any you'll come across in the genre. American readers have waited too long for this, but they'll finally get the chance to visit Brazil through Bellotto/Bellini's eyes." --Literary Hub Included in CrimeReads's List of The Most Anticipated Crime Books of 2019 "Originally published in Portuguese in 1995, Bellotto's series opener introduces Remo Bellini, a private eye in the tradition of Spade and Marlowe but distinctively Brazilian...Bellotto's detective, less ironic and more earnest in his angst than his American counterparts, proves a compelling guide to the passionate world of São Paulo." --Kirkus Reviews "Previously published in Brazilian rock musician Bellotto's native country, the São Paolo–set noir follows private detective Remo Bellini, who is investigating the disappearance of several women connected to the underworld and the related murder of a famed surgeon. Bellotto says he modeled his PI on Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, and that the plot, which involves prostitutes and live-sex performers, evokes two classically intertwined themes: sex and death." --Publishers Weekly "Private detective Remo Bellini plunges into the underworld of São Paulo in search of [a] missing dancer at the behest of her married lover, a renowned surgeon, who soon turns up dead." --Publishers Weekly, Included in Spring 2019 Announcements / Mysteries & Thrillers "The dialogue and interactions between [Remo and Dora Loba] are fantastic, and lent some much-needed lightness to the story. Both of these characters are well-drawn and thoughtful, so I do hope that these books continue to be translated for us English readers." --I've Read This "Bellini is a classic private eye, having fallen into the career from a failed attempt at the law...If a reader were interested in knowing what hard-boiled detective fiction is all about, this would be a good place to start." --The Cyberlibrarian "Bellini and the Sphinx is an enjoyable light ride, with enough variety to keep readers interested." --The Complete Review "Tony Bellotto has written his novel in the best noir tradition. The book, in the style of Edgar Allan Poe, grips the reader from beginning to surprising end. Bellini and the Sphinx is a landmark in Western crime fiction." --Paulo Lins, author of City of God Who is the missing dancer Ana Cíntia Lopes? Why did her coworkers, Camila and Dinéia, disappear? What does the voluptuous prostitute Fatima want? Who killed renowned surgeon Dr. Samuel Rafidjian? And what is the role of the hulking live-sex performer known as the Indian? To confront the puzzle of several sphinxes, most of them female, private detective Remo Bellini plunges into the underworld of São Paulo. Little by little, the mysteries unravel in a surprising fashion, until the solving of the final enigma leaves Bellini perplexed, with a bitter taste in his mouth.

She-wolf explores the cultural history of the female werewolf, from her first appearance in medieval literature to recent incarnations in film, television and popular literature. The book includes contributors from various disciplines, and offers a cross-period, interdisciplinary exploration of a perennially popular cultural production. The book covers material from the Middle Ages to the present day with chapters on folklore, history, witch trials, Victorian literature, young adult literature, film and gaming. Considering issues such as religious and social contexts, colonialism, constructions of racial and gendered identities, corporeality and subjectivity -- as well as female body hair, sexuality and violence -- She-wolf reveals the varied ways in which the female werewolf is a manifestation of complex cultural anxieties, as well as a site of continued fascination.--Provided by publisher
