The Unhinged

By David Bernstein

ONE BAD DECISION. ONE CORRUPT COP. A DESCENT INTO HELL.

Aaron Dupree has served his time. After six years in prison for his part in an armed robbery, he's finally free-and determined to build a better life. He has a job, a new romance, and a chance to leave his troubled past behind.

Then a routine traffic stop changes everything.

Caught speeding and facing a parole violation, Aaron finds himself at the mercy of a corrupt police officer with a sinister agenda. The cop offers him a choice: do what he says, or risk being sent back behind bars.

Desperate to protect his newfound freedom, Aaron agrees. But each demand drags him deeper into a nightmare of escalating violence, depravity, and terror. The officer's cruelty seems limitless-and escaping his control may be impossible.

How far would you go to stay free? And what happens when the real monsters are human?

"Wow, this was a sick one. I loved it " --Mommacat's review

"As a horror fan, there isn't much that surprises me. The depravity of certain torturers/killers, in real life and in fiction, is something I have gotten used to over the years. In stories like "The Girl Next Door" by Jack Ketchum and "The Summer I Died" by Ryan C. Thomas, the worst of humanity is on display. The same is true for this book-plus some." --Char's Horror Corner

"One of the most brutal stories I have ever read, and that's saying a lot." --The Horror Fiction Review
