About Spite!

What would you do out of Spite? Some people will go to extreme measures. Mark Davis is an arrogant and self-centred Accountant, whose only focus is himself and his rise up the corporate ladder, no matter who or what gets in his way. Mark is a winner. In his opinion. Mark Davis had five major interests in life: Himself - His Career - Himself - Sex and Himself. Usually in that order, but occasionally the fourth interest overtook the third. If Mark Davis had been vain, he'd have said he was perfect. But Mark Davis was flawless, so vanity wasn't a condition from which he suffered. He was totally focussed and destined for the top of the corporate ladder, no matter who or what got in his way. This included his downtrodden wife Vicki and the baby she desperately wanted. It would have to wait. She knew where she belonged in Mark's life. He told her enough. Vicki fully understood; being totally loyal and supportive, catering for all the needs of her man like a well-trained gun dog. Mark was the only man she'd ever need. He'd decided that too. Vicki would never let him down - Would she? Mark had it all worked out. Perfectly planned. And would succeed in his mission to get to the top - Wouldn't he? However, the 'Gods of Planning and Ambition' had smirks on their faces and decided otherwise. Within a few days Mark's perfectly ordered and carefully planned world would fall apart, his life and plans all destroyed. Paranoid people think someone is out to get them. Mark Davis wasn't paranoid. He knew someone was out to get him. As Mark's life rapidly goes from bad to worse, in a fast-moving and twisting plot, laced throughout with black humour, grim brutality and non-stop action; Mark desperately tries to discover who has shattered his once perfect world. And more importantly - Why? The terrifying truth he finally discovers will destroy him, as he learns to his horror what someone will do out of Spite! Spite! is a fast-paced, dark and twisting psychological thriller, which takes you page by page through a range of emotions, from pulse-thumping horror to gentle chuckles of grim dark humour. Anyone who enjoys a fast-moving, twisting, unpredictable psychological thriller, threaded with dark humour and surprises, will enjoy this unique story and be shocked to learn what some people will do, simply out of Spite!
