Richard Rider - Stockholm Syndrome.epub

The best cover for evil is a mask of trust. When kidnap victim, Cassie Sanders, puts too much hope in her captor, her escape is nearly impossible. Imprisoned for over six months, it isn’t until a local high school student, Ben Morrison, starts investigating the suspicious behaviors of his father, Tom Morrison, that Cassie’s long imprisonment finally may come to an end.

However, Ben’s investigations lead him into a nightmare he never could have imagined. Once he learns his father’s secret, the rest of the Morrison family is plunged into madness. As for Ben’s five year-old sister, Lia, she is plagued by dreams and visions of monsters she is convinced are real. Ben’s mother, Becca, is forced to keep her family together through the care of Dr. Morgan, a psychologist who helps reveal Lia’s dreams and their connection to Tom’s secret.

Through a colorful blend of character perspectives, this psychological drama of criminal deceit proves that just as kidnappers disguise themselves as loving providers for their victims, evil itself can be disguised as a source of truth and goodness.
