Product Description
A dark and disturbing glimpse into the mind of a sociopath and the apparently impossible attempt by a young woman to expose his crimes.
Marcus was special. He'd always known it. Even at the age of six when he'd decided to kill his father. His privileged background should have produced a doctor, an academic, perhaps a diplomat. Instead, he killed people for fun.
Donna O'Prey is the most junior member of a small private security firm. A routine search for a missing teenage girl escalates into something much more serious when a ransom demand is received. Donna becomes convinced that Marcus is responsible for the abduction. Eleven years previously, while still a child, Marcus had been convicted of the brutal murder of two young children, but a Home Office review board has now sanctioned his release.
Donna needs all her battling qualities as she attempts to rescue the missing girl, but how will she cope when her own safety is threatened?
Reviews of Burn, Baby, Burn.
‘Written by someone who not only has the inside track on the workings of police detection but who also has a genuine insight into real evil.’
‘a riveting story full of twists and unpredictable turns where I read about things I'd never imagined.’
‘…impossible to put down. Great characters, excellent plot, multi-dimensional. Already looking forward to the sequel.’
‘I still shudder at the thought of the callousness of the character… and have vowed never to read anything by Jake Barton again.’
Oh well, can’t please everybody!
