Detours - Paperback

Who would expect a friend, neighbor, spouse or co-worker to do the unthinkable?

Like the respected psychiatrist furtively collecting baby dolls.
A disenfranchised young man stalking an unsuspecting girl to possess her.
A discontented married man seeking love on the internet with a startling outcome.
A sophisticated career woman careening into hysteria when her cherish pet parrots vanish.
​A young woman, driven to prostitution by economic need, courting tragedy by falling in love with a suave client.

A dozen tales of life upended by fixations explore how far someone will deviate to chase compulsions or hide aberrant behavior. Their baffling escapades remind us of the myriad mysteries inherent in the human condition.
