Bad Kid

He’d been waiting for this moment. He’d been watching her—turning himself into her nightmare, her judge, her executioner. Revenge for revenge’s sake wasn’t interesting to him…

When the famous artist Grace Haley accidentally meets a strange young man on the street, she instantly understands: it’s him! The son she abandoned—discarded—because she was afraid of ruining her career. She’s been looking for him for years, and now he’s found her. But how different he is from the person she imagined.

From that moment on, Grace’s life turned into real hell. Her son extorted money from her for drugs, quarreled her with her husband, and made her an accomplice in a crime… Becoming suddenly unlucky, Grace finally decides to find out who he really is—her tormentor. The truth that comes to light leaves the desperate woman no choice…

This story lays bare the tastiest vices in which people are hopelessly stuck—both the successful ones and, at first glance, quite healthy ones… The author, like with a surgical instrument, opens up the characters’ inner sores and secret thoughts, penetrating the darkest corners of their inflamed minds. And only the unexpected ending—like a harsh verdict—puts a full stop to this tragic story…
