About this title

Synopsis

A physiologically disturbing, dark and thought-provoking tale that draws you into its web nice and slowly, with the pages speeding up, and then hits you with the stunning blow. Filled with interesting twists and turns and a strong ending. Michael Turner is still fighting the demons of his childhood. An orphan, he grew up alone in a maze of institutions and foster homes. All he ever wanted was to belong. Now in his early twenties, he is at last starting to escape his past. He has a loving fiancée and is taking the first steps in a promising legal career. And when, unexpectedly, a powerful father figure enters his life, it seems that all his childhood dreams are being realised. But some dreams come with a price. A dangerous cuckoo has been allowed to enter the nest. One who is plagued by his own demons, who can manipulate the needs and vulnerabilities of others to dreadful effect.
