Book Description

CONTROL HIS URGES OR DIE Killing someone doesn’t produce the terrible guilt fugitive Yvonne Landis had thought. That's the takeaway after she shoots her dangerous ex-psychiatrist. But she soon faces other problems. Her son Gabe claims he no longer has to kill bad people to cure his debilitating anger because it’s gone. She demands he still do it in case he’s mistaken. It’s the only way to prevent him from hurting another innocent person. Gabe refuses to go on killing. Yvonne can make him by threatening to turn him into the police; after all, she has his recorded murder confession. She’d rather not as he might respond by killing her, and then no one’s left to help control his urges. Her only other choice is to be creative. But how do you trick someone into killing someone else? She must succeed. If not, all her work trying to save Gabe will have been for naught.
