Midsummer: Brockwell Park, a pleasant residential area of south London. A husband and wife are discovered bound and imprisoned in their own home. They are badly dehydrated in their own home, have been beaten, and the husband is close to death. But worse is to come: their young son is missing.

When DI Jack Caffery of the Met's murder squad, AMIP, is called in to investigate, the similarities to events in his own past make it impossible for him to view this new crime with the necessary detachment. And as Jack digs deeper, as he attempts to hold his own life together in the face of ever more disturbing revelations about both the past and the present, the real nightmare begins.

Horrifying, unforgettable, intense, The Treatment is a novel that touches the raw nerve of our darkest imaginings.

 

 
I bought this book because it was in a sale and it had excellent reviews. It sounds like a good thriller, but whether it'll hold a candle to the likes of King and Koontz remains to be seen.
