The Ashamed is an addictive page-turning crime thriller focusing on historic child abuse criminality. Although a work of fiction, the author has brought to life the realism of a prolonged serious and complex investigation, dealing with both multiple victims and high-powered members of society.

Introducing the seasoned and likeable detective, Charlie Oscar, he guides the reader every step of the way, after the first brave victim, David Ismay, comes forward forty-five years later. When David provides an emotionally drained account, the true extent of his exploited innocence from his teenage years encapsulates Charlie's unforgiving determination to bring those responsible to justice.

As Charlie and his team travel back to the time of no computers and limited forensics, the true harrowing revelations of the past slowly materialise to reveal a sinister and horrific catalogue of events, which, in turn, encourages the unwanted attention of some Westminster circles.
