Then the romance novels started. Fated mates, alphas and betas, scenting the one across a crowded car park. The werewolves went back into hiding, and these days most of them say they’re something else. Now the local police need a new tracker, and nobody tracks like a werewolf. Rumour puts one in the Benevolent Order of the Otherworldly, and the society has handed over its sign-up sheets. Not one member wrote down Werewolf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYou have 42 clues from the police oracle, and one of them came through distorted. Check each clue against the members on the sheets. One failed clue proves nothing, but a second strikes the name off.
