Title: Acid Lullaby
Description: "City trader Max Fallon is a successful sexual predator. He is closing in on the latest object of his desire. But his luck is about to run out." "When a vengeful colleague spikes his drink with LSD, Fallon endures a terrifying psychological episode. Trapped between memory and delusion, he is transformed into a monster, and believes himself to be Soma, the reincarnation of a Hindu God." "At the same time the murder of a drug dealer in Cambridgeshire, signals the start of a different kind of ordeal for Inspector Alison Dexter. While struggling to coordinate the manhunt, Dexter is forced to confront two demons from her own past - the reappearance of a man who poisoned her career and the resurfaced memory of a life she had to destroy." "Dexter's former boss, John Underwood, returns to New Bolden CID after medical leave to hear that Jack Harvey - the police psychiatrist who saved Underwood's sanity - has been savagely murdered. Events take on an added urgency when Harvey's wife is then brutally abducted. Baffled by the killer's crazed modus operandi, Underwood finds himself tangled in Dexter's investigation." "As the two seemingly unconnected cases collide, drug-addiction, kidnapping and ritualistic murder merge into a real live nightmare."--BOOK JACKET.
