A collection of four Amaris suspense short stories, 'The Shoplifter Never After', 'Dreamer', 'Junction' and the delightfully fiendish 'The Devil's Advocate': ‘The Shoplifter Never After’ pitches the wits of a therapist against the guile of a client hiding the truth behind her thefts of random odd objects, in a psychological thriller with an unexpected twist. In ‘Dreamer’, the sequel to 'The Shoplifter Never After', a woman seeks help for an unusual malady - when the world refuses to accept who you are, but the universe you dream up to replace it becomes more real to you than it should be, what do you do? Perhaps only a certain, rotund therapist can find an answer to that burning question... Would you betray your most sacred ideals to protect what’s yours? A yuppie racing to work in her dented little second-hand car discovers the answer to this question when she is faced with an unusual sight, at the Junction... In ‘The Devil’s Advocate’, when a certain devilish minion starts whispering sweet, fatal nothings into a weary ear, there seems to be only one bloody way out of the mess that Penny’s life has become. And the Devil’s Advocate is absolutely convinced he’ll make her take it ...
