Publisher's summary

All his life, for almost as far back as he could remember, Victor had had a phobia. In prison, inevitably, he reflected on the grotesque way it had begun, about the panics and violent anger. He asked himself, too, why the child of happily married, middle-class parents should have needed to make motiveless and unreasoning attacks on women.

Holed up in that house with the girl, he had not meant to pull the trigger. It was panic. Panic, which came over him like a second skin, prickling him all over, crawling on him.... An attempted murder not only brings Victor Jenner face to face with himself, but also involves him in a strange and doomed triangular relationship.

We are placed on the head of a man filled with hate and anger. He it’s a serial rapist who shoots a policeman in the spine making him paraplegic. He goes to jail and then after release becomes acquainted with the policeman and his girlfriend. The protagonist isn’t grounded enough in reality to understand his situation and is self destructive.
