Evil at the Core

Having just lost everything at a stroke, Quentin Graylings life has fallen apart. Snapping, he sets off on a mad, unplanned adventure, from England to New York, and finds himself in serious danger for reasons unclear.
 
Quentin was brought up as an orphan in a dysfunctional aristocratic family, the only rays of light in his life being his loving aunt and an odd-job man around the estate. His cousin Jack was his nemesis.
 
In New York, Quentin encounters the kindness of strangers, and a traumatised woman trying to escape her own hell. Together they escape across the seas, but Quentin finds himself still under threat.
 
Whilst fleeing from the invisible enemy, Quentin discovers love, and starts unravelling the mystery of the chase - culminating in a violent denouement in a lonely corner of a small tropical island and subsequent darkness.
