Stealing Innocents
by Cari Waites
Those who dare to scratch the
surface of ordinary, everyday life may be horrified to find a sick underbelly
beneath—a nightmare world populated by villains and victims, predators and
prey, where the rules of society no longer apply.
Where you’ll find people like Danny,
the boy who sells himself to pay for his father’s gambling debts and ends up in
a situation more twisted than he ever imagined. Or Troy, the cop whose
obsession with saving a brutalized human trafficking victim turns deadly. Or
Drew, the mental patient who begins to suspect his nightly delusions of abuse
by his doctor are actually real. Or David, the cuckolded husband who decides
the best way to get revenge is to seduce his wife’s barely legal son.
Stealing Innocents is
an exploration of our darkest human impulses, where sex is power, love is
horror, and there’s no such thing as a happy ending.
This collection contains three
edited second editions stories that were previously individually published,
plus one all-new story, by Lisa Henry writing as Cari Waites.
About Lisa Henry:
Lisa
likes to tell stories, mostly with hot guys and happily ever afters.
Lisa
lives in tropical North Queensland, Australia. She doesn’t know why, because
she hates the heat, but she suspects she’s too lazy to move. She spends half
her time slaving away as a government minion, and the other half plotting her
escape.
She
attended university at sixteen, not because she was a child prodigy or
anything, but because of a mix-up between international school systems early in
life. She studied History and English, neither of them very thoroughly.
She
shares her house with too many cats, a green tree frog that swims in the
toilet, and as many possums as can break in every night. This is not how she
imagined life as a grown-up.
Cari Waites is her much darker alter ego.
