From the writer of 'Get Carter', comes the terrifically gripping new thriller 'The Serpent'. Vincent Mandel is a photographer caught up in an ugly divorce and fighting for custody of his children. His already troubled existence is blown apart by the appearance of a ghost from his past: Joseph Plender. Seductive, sympathetic, Plender is nonetheless utterly ruthless, a predator motivated by pure hatred of former classmate Vincent, and hungry for vengeance.
