![]() Peabody is the cop that investigates the disappearance of Anthony's boss and is drawn into the dangerous games being played.Anthony is new to the dog-catching business and eventually falls for the unnamed female character.Lark is the leader of one of the packs.The unifying thread of the novel is the protagonist Anthony, who opens the novel as a newly hired dog-catcher, scrambles through successive encounters with the other characters and (unlike many of them) survives, to close the novel as a shapeshifter dog. The novel's point of view shifts among many characters, shapeshifter and ordinary human alike, all striving to act upon incomplete information about each other to pursue their very different objectives. Sharp Teeth explores how those strategies succeed or fail as the packs stumble across each other and as ordinary humans stumble across the shapeshifters. ![]() The nature of the shapeshifter dogs leads them to organize in packs with a specific structure but from that starting point each pack develops in a distinctly different direction depending on the strategy the pack chooses to masquerade as humans in human society. That's as ancient and ignorant as any myth. ![]()
