The Penance List

By S.C. Cunningham

Book Overview

We follow David Howard's journey from angelic altar boy to insatiable killer. A s/exual-tour-de-force millionaire playboy manoeuvres shark-like through London's colourful underbelly. A world of spoilt celebrity, class snobbery, debauchery, and the British press. Using s/ex as a weapon, he keeps a childhood promise. Will revenge be sweet?

Set in glitterati London, the leafy home counties, and the spectacular Amalfi Coast. A stylish, s/exy, at times laugh-out-loud, contemporary drama. Psycho-meets-50Shades'esque. Grab a glass of wine, close the bedroom door and read alone.

THE DAVID TRILOGY READERS (thank you x)

'Writing doesn't get any better than this'

'Blown away to the point of speechless'

'So amazing. David is my new fave psycho killer. He's so dark and twisted, but with serious purpose that you just can't hate on. I've enjoyed this. The depth of story, description, was so good. I loved the originality. Totally captivating and keeps you invested from beginning to end.'

'Freaking Fantastic. A romance of the most twisted, debased, debauched, deranged, mind-screwed kind. Nothing I was expecting. Everything I was hoping for.. Recommended. 5 Stars'

'This is for readers who enjoy thrillers with an er/otic edge, a powerful read. It leaves a lasting impression long after the last page. It feels like the start of something big, and sets the tone perfectly for what promises to be a thrilling trilogy 5*'

'I raise a glass; I'd love to meet anyone who writes like this'

'The adrenaline running through this had my pulse racing'

'Her characters are sultry and as real as they can get'

'Be on the lookout for more from this talented star'

'Absolutely amazing. I didn't want to put this down once I got started. I can't wait to dive into the next one'

'Gritty, exciting, blending psychological depth with sensual tension and raw emotion. If you enjoy thrillers that explore the darker side of human nature and are not afraid to cross lines, this one's worth reading'

'It's raw, intense, and unapologetically dark. His beauty opens doors, but it also feeds his obsession, and what begins as fascination soon turns into something dangerous and deeply unsettling'

'Cunningham peels back David's layers slowly, showing how desire, rejection, and revenge shape him over time. The settings move seamlessly from the glamour of the Amalfi Coast to the shadowy corners of London's elite, giving the story a rich and cinematic feel'

'The writing is confident and fearless, mixing suspense, sensuality, and dark humour in a way that keeps the pages turning. This is a story that shocks, intrigues, and occasionally makes you laugh at moments you never expected to'

'Gripping, book 1 of the David trilogy. A great look into the mind of a killer. Had my heart pounding. An absolute great read.'
