Book Description by Author:

The compulsive new novel from the author of the Sunday Times Number One bestseller The Caller and Gallery of the Dead.

AS ADDICTIVE AS A TV BOXSET!

 

'Every story one day comes to an end.'

As roommates, they met for the first time in college. Two of the brightest minds ever to graduate from Stamford Psychology University.

As adversaries, they met again in Quantico, Virginia. Robert Hunter had become the head of the LAPD’s Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. Lucien Folter had become the most prolific and dangerous serial killer the FBI had ever encountered.

 

Now, after spending three and a half years locked in solitary confinement, Lucien has finally managed to break free. And he’s angry.

 

For the past three and a half years, Lucien has thought of nothing else but vengeance.

The person responsible for locking him away has to pay, he has to suffer.

That person ... is Robert Hunter.

And now it is finally time to execute the plan.

About the Author:

Biographies can be an absolute drag, so I won’t bore anyone with a long life story.

 

I was born in Brasilia, Brazil where I spent my childhood and teenage years. After graduating from high school, I moved to the USA where I studied psychology with specialization in criminal behaviour. During my University years I held a variety of odd jobs, ranging from flipping burgers to being part of an all male exotic dancing group.

 

I worked as a criminal psychologist for several years before moving to Los Angeles, where I swapped the suits and briefcases for ripped jeans, bandanas and an electric guitar. After a spell playing for several well known glam rock bands, I decided to try my luck in London, where I was fortunate enough to have played for a number of famous artists. I toured the world several times as a professional musician.

 

A few years ago I gave it all up to become a full time writer.
