UNFINISHED BUSINESS, the stand alone sequel to THE PENANCE LIST, continues the roller coaster ride of psychotic David's obsession with his childhood sweetheart.
Tara is the only victim to survive the wrath of David. His deal with the Devil allows no margin for error; she simply cannot be allowed to live. Using money, drugs, lust and lies, sexual tour de force David stalks and kidnaps his ‘Angel’.

Locked up at Her Majesty’s Bellmarsh, David adds their names to his list and plots his escape.
