Live Flesh

Live Flesh

Victor Jenner is a sociopath. After ten years in prison for shooting – and permanently crippling – a young policeman, Victor is released to a strange new world and told to make a new life for himself. It’s hard to adjust to civilian life, but at least there’s one blessing – he was never convicted for all those rapes he committed. Then Victor meets David, the policeman he shot, and David’s beautiful girlfriend, Clare. And suddenly Victor’s new life is starting to look an awful lot like the old one.
