About this listen

 Grant Butler, incapacitated from childhood, has built up a business and in his own narrow world become a success. A rather staid introverted character, he finds that his nice orderly life is progressively torn apart when he learns that the father he has hated all his life has died and left him with a task he cannot avoid, the job of making restitution to a woman he has never heard of. Step by step he is drawn ever deeper into a vortex of evil that not only threatens his own sanity, it places a young woman he barely knows in danger of her life. Torn from his safe and emotionally secure existence he has to face dangers such as he has never confronted in his life, and worse, he needs to face the demons in his own mind that have haunted him from childhood. Revised - Oct 2014 Extract (From Chapter 21) When he had a chance to think about things much later, Grant wasn't quite sure in what sequence things happened. He vividly recalled that as Lars turned towards the door he was filled with a sense of desperation such as he had never experienced in his life. Holly looked thoroughly shocked and drained, Fenner was sneering at them both in a triumphant manner. Then everything happened at such a speed that events became all jumbled up together in his mind. As Lars went to move out of the door there came the sound of a blow followed by a startled grunt. Fenner looked round, startled by the noise, and in that instant Grant did something he had never done before in his life, he reacted instinctively to a highly dangerous situation in a manner he subsequently could never bring himself to actually believe that he had. As Fenner's head jerked round Grant swung his walking cane upwards in a vicious swipe, knocking the gun flying from the man's hand, and then instantly reversing the cane he swung it like a club so that the heavy silver handle caught Fenner directly under the chin. He collapsed as if he had been pole-axed. Mystery Traditional Detectives
