A young man failed by the establishment throughout his life is free from prison and out for blood. It is when his path crosses that of Eily, a mother with a young son, that his madness and fury break through his last shred of sanity. What follows involves the local people, the police, Eily's friends and detractors in almost a farce in this incredibly dark and frightening book. I raced through it to the end.
