Senseless

The damage inflicted on a killer has led him into darkness-and a London detective now faces the most puzzling case of his career, in this taut crime thriller.

From the moment he entered the world, Martin was cursed-suffering from withdrawal symptoms because of his mother''s drug abuse, taken home to a world of hunger, pain, and neglect. Eventually landing in care, his sensory abilities are nearly destroyed after years of violence inflicted on him by his mother''s boyfriends.

Tormented by his life as an outcast, Martin dreams of being able to hear and smell and taste like ordinary people-and in a desperate bid to feel alive, he turns to murder . . .

DI Ruben Jameson suddenly finds himself tracking a serial killer. But as he braces himself for the usual escalation and provocation, events take a strange turn-and for the first time, he wonders if he may be dealing with a predator who is trying to stop himself. Now Jameson must find the perpetrator before he slips quietly back into anonymity, never to face justice . . .
