With suspects including a dog psychic and a behaviorist to the stars, Rachel discovers that it's the humans who need to be housebroken as she and Dash bring a serial killer to heel.

  Twenty-four years ago, five-year-old Tori walked into her newborn brother's room in the middle of the night to see a shadowy figure abducting him. 
  The next morning, her baby brother’s lifeless body was found in the crib. 
  No one believes what she saw that night. Not her father. Not her mentally unstable mother. Not the police. In fact, there’s even some suspicion that Tori is somehow involved. 
  Years later, Tori is stuck in a job she hates, hiding from her past, afraid to let people get too close. Until her childhood friend is found with her dead newborn, claiming her “real” baby was taken by a shadowy figure. 
  Is the past coming back to haunt Tori? And will the truth set her free… or will it end up being more twisted than she ever could have imagined?

  Prison Life - A Short Story...

  For almost all of us the idea of being locked away in prison is a dreadful thought to consider.  To be in that position, to get put away, for whatever reasons, for whatever pain or injury that was caused, whatever law was broken, the probability of years in a small, cramped space holds no appeal to anyone of reason and is almost always an absolute deterrent. 
   
  Whilst some of the characters in these stories deserve prison, others are the victims of a mis-carriage.  Our authors including Victor Hugo, Franz Kafka, William Mudford and Vincente Blasco Ibanez explore life inside, and how many of the flawed characters of their stories cope with the undoubted stresses and deprivations that their lives now cause them.  It is a harsh world in microcosm.
