From the Author
One for fans of psychological thrillers.
Think Val McDermid with a sprinkling of gothic sensibility...

About the Author
Redemption is the debut novel but there are two more books already in the pipeline for future release.

Excerpted from Redemption by Wayne Sharrocks. Copyright © 2006. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
I awoke trembling and sweating, the sheets soaking wet beneath me as my mind recalled the visions from the nightmare that had violently ripped me from my sleep. The recollections were sadly all too vivid as I had been fighting them all night, a battle I was destined to lose.
Damn, twenty years on and still the memory of those events would not fade. I felt the maelstrom of reproach and morbid regrets as every night seemed to rekindle old memories that I wished to leave behind and to deny the existence of. Sometimes I found myself closing my eyes and hiding away in the dark. I knew that there was a lot to be ashamed of in my life, but I just did not understand why these dark thoughts and spectres from my past, kept invading my mind of late, now almost on a nightly basis.

Customer Reviews

Superb

A scintillating thriller...
Witty,clever,dark and thought-provoking...this novel has everything you'd want in a thriller and more.
It's powerful narrative ensures that this psychological tale
packs more of a punch than the average thriller.
An absorbing read.

An emotional read...
I've just finished reading 'Redemption' and felt compelled to write a few lines. It's an excellent read that takes you on an emotional journey. I found it to be an intelligent and lucid thriller that kept me turning the pages. It has to be the darkest
yet at times wittiest book that I have ever read. You feel for the central character and feel like you are actually living his trauma as life seemingly conspires against him. The author writes with such emotion that he lures you seductively into his world and you are soon experiencing a full range of emotions as it's sad,funny,loving,hateful and has a superb sting in the tail.
