'Quinndell is a monster. That's not a figure of speech Mr Lyon -- he's a monster.'

John Lyon is tempted to ignore the distraught woman who accosts him in the street with wild tales of murdered children and a doctor of death. He's got enough problems as it is, having just experienced an emotional breakdown on national network television. But when the woman commits a bizarre act of self-destruction in his presence, Lyon's sympathy and his dormant instincts as a journalist are aroused. He moves into a remote cabin in rural West Virginia to investigate her claims.

What he finds there leads him to doubt his sanity ... and nearly costs him his life.

His nerves already jangling from the isolation, and from a harrowing encounter with a weird, gnomelike man and his ferocious dog, Lyon is sent over the edge when he finds a white box in the cabin and, in that box, the body of a beautifully exotic woman.

In a matter of days, Lyon finds himself entangled in a deadly web of evil. At its centre is Mason Quinndell: a monster of sadistic ingenuity, a physician whose mission to heal has been hideously perverted, a creature whose depraved games of torture know no limits...

Introducing one of the most horrific villains of fiction since Hannibal Lecter, Bring Me Children is a novel of astonishing power and pace. Chillingly violent, perversely erotic, it is also a fascinating exploration of betrayal, the nature of evil and the redeeming power of love.
