Deliberate Harm
Overview
No one stumbled into this.
No one acted on impulse.
This was planned-and it was criminal.
When three-year-old Robbie disappears on a blisteringly hot afternoon, panic grips everyone who loves him. A crowded beach. A moment's distraction. A child gone.
But Detective Inspector Ziggy Thornes quickly realises this is no tragic accident and no random abduction.
What happened to Robbie was deliberate. A line was crossed by adults who believed they were justified-who convinced themselves that breaking the law was the lesser evil.
As Ziggy unpicks the case, the evidence points not to a faceless predator, but to calculated choices, carefully hidden motives, and a truth no one wants exposed. Because admitting what really happened would mean admitting intent.
This wasn't a mistake.
It was a crime.
DELIBERATE HARM is a dark, unflinching psychological crime novel about culpability, control, and the lies people tell themselves to justify the unforgivable. It asks how far someone can go in the name of love-and when protection becomes abuse.
Relentless, morally dangerous, and impossible to forget, this is a thriller for readers who don't want easy villains or comforting answers.
Some crimes are acts of violence.
This one was an act of conviction.
