Originally released as ''The Puppet Tears'', this edition of the author''s very first novel - a tale of lost love and ultimate retribution - has been revised, extended and updated.
Samual Grant has crafted for himself an enviable life: a career he loves, a beautiful home nestled deep in idyllic countryside, and the love and affection of Marianna Pascal - the lifelong focus of the most ardent of his obsessions.
All seems well, until Marianna stumbles upon the chilling secret to his success, hidden away in the basement beneath their everyday lives.
His dreams now in tatters, Samual must act fast to avoid losing everything he's contrived into his skewed existence, straying further into the world of the occult than ever before to avoid losing everything he's spent years amassing.
But just how far is he willing to go to retain all that his diseased mind covets?
