Splintered

By Kelly Miller

Life turns from barely tolerable to complete hell when Maddy Eastin's impulsive plan to win back the attention of her absentee father backfires. Word of her scheme spreads through her high school, but when mockery escalates to cyberbullying, Maddy and her failed stunt become headline news. But the worst is yet to come . . . A disturbed man is fighting the overwhelming urge to surrender to his true nature-a moral code molded by a sadistic father who taught him that a girl needs proper training to become the perfect subservient woman. As he watches Maddy on the evening news, his already fractured psyche completely splinters. She's the girl he's been waiting for. When Maddy disappears, she's labeled a runaway even though her mother believes it was foul play. Will the two detectives investigating Maddy's disappearance find her before it's too late? Or has she already fallen prey to the vicious stranger hunting her? This mystery/psychological thriller unfolds through the viewpoints of five deeply flawed characters. Each is on their own emotionally charged journey that ultimately intersects in a collision course of devastating consequences.
