Book Description by Author:

 A psychological crime short read about a disturbed serial killer/rapist who tries to find a life away from his domineering abusive mother who likes to control his life.

A young athlete is kidnapped and kept in an underground bunker. Her movements are observed by the anorexic rapist who pleasures himself by watching her muscles slowly waste away.

DI Mcilroy and his partner, DC Garvey, are hot on the trail. They uncover the captive's secret life when a profiler leads them on their search. A gripping story of sexual abuse and eating disorders and how a man's upbringing leads to him doing unspeakable things.

Are the detectives going to catch him before he heads abroad seeking a life of depravity and pleasure?
