In the world of this novel, most people are lycanthropes (the word 'werewolf' is never used) and the few who are not (disparagingly known as barebacks) are required to risk their lives to keep order, particularly when the moon is full.
Kit Whitfield spins a convincing, gritty world and explores prejudice and its meanings, wrapped up in very readable crime fiction. I chose this one based on Amazon descriptions and reviews, and wasn't disappointed.
The title is Benighted in North America, and Bareback in the UK, if you're hunting for it.
