[_F as in Frank_](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0970631138/qid=1075131598/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/103-3323086-9561416?v=glance&s=books) by David A. Page is a murder/mystery detective story set in Boston, in which one of the police detectives (the title character) happens to be a werewolf. It’s gotten some pretty good reviews on [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com), although I haven’t yet read it myself. It’s on my list though.

Laurell K. Hamilton’s _Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter_ series has two main romantic leads vying for Anita’s love: JeanPaul, the vampire and Richard, the werewolf.

Personally, I’m rooting for the werewolf. I just can’t seem to overcome my personal bias against dead people.

No-one’s mentioned Brian Stableford’s “Werewolves of London”?

And would a [Buffy novel featuring Oz](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1569715696/qid=1075215118/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-4920054-7633403?v=glance&s=books) count?
