The Predator has a problem. He craves sex but fears women and has an intense hatred of prostitutes. How does he resolve his dilemma? He rapes prostitutes and then tortures and mutilates them.
But some, like Annie, refuse to remain a victim. Partially recovered, she takes her story to the editor of the local newspaper. Appalled by her tale and despite misgivings about the legal dangers, family-man John Peters goes ahead …
Then the Predator mounts a terrifying campaign of revenge – against the prostitute who exposed him, against the newspaper, and against John Peters and his family.
How can he be stopped? What will it mean for the lives of those he torments? And just when will it all end?

A thoughtful and action-packed thriller from a master of deadlines, newspaper editor Graeme Barrow.
