A gripping psychological crime novel that follows the
success of his first, Outside the White
Lines.
Rubble lives in a caravan and works on a
battery farm. Totally oblivious to the outside world, he
spends his days disposing of the sick and injured
chickens. One day a mysterious visitor arrives and sees
Rubble’s childlike naivete combined with an ability to
kill without compunction. Soon Rubble is employed on a
sinister secret project.
Rubble’s only chance of
realizing how he’s being cruelly used lies with the one
person he confides in: a phone-line fortune-teller. But
just how disturbing must her caller’s revelations become
before she is prepared to take action? In this chilling
thriller, Chris Simms plunges once again into the darkest
reaches of human psychology: what it is that drives one
person to kill another.
