Then,at the zenith of his political achievement,his decision backfires,causing his private and political lives to collide dramatically...'Lost Souls'picks up the story of Tom's struggle to come to terms with his personal loss as he sinks ever deeper into a drunken world of lost nights and half-remembered days. Concern grows in government circles over his outspoken condemnation of the New Justice Regime,his own brain-child and the prime vehicle for getting the party elected. Then the killing begins; a series of apparently unconnected loners,chillingly executed. A missing drug trader and a tenuous link to a mysterious stranger set the police off on a trail they have no wish to follow as the stakes are raised and the body count rises...
