About this title

From the Back Cover:

A high-security luxury housing estate in the Thames Valley is the setting for a disturbing outbreak of violence in this compelling reissued novella from the acclaimed author of Cocaine Nights and Super-Cannes.

Pangbourne Village housing estate is exclusive, expensive and protected from the outside world by the very latest in security systems. It should be the perfect place to bring up a child. So why, in the space of ten minutes early one morning, were the thirty-two adult residents brutally murdered, and all thirteen children abducted? No kidnapper has ever come forward, and the police are mystified. It is only when psychiatrist Richard Greville is called in that the truth behind the massacre gradually becomes clear. . .
