About this title.
"Katherine went looking for a serial killer. What she found was both the end and the beginning of her life, and a reality that spanned both."
A rich, agile plot, succinctly told. Set among past truths and present myths, the questions posed will engage the mind well beyond the last page."
This book can be broadly categorised as murder/mystery with a touch of romance and is very much entertainment, not literature.
Set in the English Midlands, the plot involves the investigation of a series of rather bizarre serial killings and centres around Katherine Platte, a consultant psychologist retained to profile the murderer.
But there is a second, underlying story, adding a rather unusual twist that will leave the reader with something to ponder.

About this Author.
[Shortlisted for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards - Best New Talent - 2009]
Born in England in 1946, I moved to New Zealand with my parents and older brother at the age of four and, apart from five years in my late twenties spent travelling the globe, have lived here ever since. After a fairly rudimentary education, I found work as an Architectural Designer and this became a life-long occupation. I started writing late in 2006.
The books I write are intended in the first instance to tell a good story and secondly – once the tale is told – to leave the reader with something to ponder. To this end, all my stories attempt to provide an original take on some commonly held belief, be it cultural, social or scientific.
Being a fan of both science fiction and classic murder mysteries, these tend to be common themes, with elements of both often combined in a single story.
As a person who likes to read a book in a single sitting, I limit each work to around forty-five or fifty thousand words. Unfashionable I know, but it's what I prefer.
