This novel is the story of two different people fighting to survive their own versions of hell.

Jason Patterson is a skilled police officer who wakes to a world of nightmares. The only chance he has for survival is to trust two equally enigmatic figures; a dangerous and antagonistic young woman or a strange presence that Jason believes is "The Lord."

Meanwhile, a tortured and paranoid woman who goes only by "Nephele" is fighting a losing battle for her sanity. When she is forced to rely on a complete stranger, she finds that he may be genuinely nice- but she knows the darkness that might lurk beneath his smile.

A Touch of Malice is not just a story about two people; it's a story of the sacrifices made for a loved one, the importance of perserverence and how far faith can carry someone- as well as how far one can fall if that faith is misplaced.

Fans of horror, psychological thrillers and those who enjoy a touch of philisophical/religious intrigue.

I liked every single page of this novel.

On edge, excited, nervous and as if I were engaged in deep thought.

The author used an interesting mix of humor, horror and symbolism to draw upon deep cultural themes and create a novel riddled with psychological influences.

The twisting plot, deep characters and unique writing style is sure to give readers more than their money's worth.
