THE DETANIEE by Peter Liney is a post-modern tale of the effects of the downfall of our society. It is a story of desperation and triumphs, both in the light and the dark.

Clancy the "Big Guy" not only shows us his fear of what lurks in the fog, but also shows us the fear we have in ourselves of getting old. Clancy and his friends live in a world where society has removed the elderly, and the children for that matter. When the daunting fog rolls in lives are changed and many are lost. More than anything though, there is a fight against all of the things that have plagued their society. With the help of those who Clancy would have never sought help from, the fog may be about to break.

THE DETAINEE will keep you guessing from the start. Peter Liney so cleverly hides incredibly difficult things within this story. I cannot believe the turns it takes, but am ever so pleased in where it goes. THE DETAINEE covers gruesome acts of violence, yet strays from gory details; Peter Liney is a description genius. He even covers rather intimate scenes without exposing the intimacy; instead he evokes such emotion, that I felt each drip and ounce of love.

THE DETAINEE is definitely a book that should be read by all.
