NOVEL OF 2011
Edward Hunter has it all--a beautiful wife and daughter, a great job, a
bright future . . . and a very dark past.
Twenty years ago, a serial killer was caught, convicted, and locked away
in New Zealand's most hellish penitentiary. That man was Edward's
father. Edward has struggled his entire life to put the nightmares of
his childhood behind him. But a week before Christmas, violence once
again makes an unwelcome appearance in his world. Is Edward destined to
be just like his father, to become a man of blood? A true master of the
genre, Paul Cleave unveils a brutally vivid picture of a killer's mind
and a city of fallen angels captured at the ends of the earth.
