[Read by Paul Michael Garcia] A breakout book from Stephen Marche, The Hunger of the Wolf is a novel about the way we live now: a sweeping, genre-busting tale of money, morality, and the American Dream - and the men and monsters who profit in its pursuit - set in New York, London, and the Canadian wilderness. Hunters found his body naked in the snow. -- So begins this astonishing new work of literary fiction. The body in the snow is that of Ben Wylie, the heir to America's second-wealthiest business dynasty, and it is found in a remote patch of northern Canada. Far away, in post-crash New York, Jamie Cabot, the son of the Wylie family's housekeepers, must figure out how and why Ben died. He knows the answer lies in the tortured history of the Wylie family who, over three generations, built up their massive holdings into several billion dollars' worth of real estate, oil, and information systems, despite a terrible family secret they must keep from the world.
