Blurb:
A novella. Shane was everyone in his life. Besides his grandparents, he really had nobody there for him. Whilst serving twelve months in a secure home for a crime he didn’t commit, he suffers yet more abuse. Shane commits suicide in the police station after hasty confession; he had killed his mother, half-sister, and her father. DI Campbell is determined to get justice for Shane, too. He was a victim before he became a murderer and the men who’d abused him were powerful and privileged.
