Alfie is the father of twin girls Sylvie and Cassia, but now he has gone from a stable family environment to single father when his partner Pippa suddenly died.
He know he isn't coping well with even day to day domesticity but he finally cracks and calls in the children's aunt Julia when they reveal to him that they have been having a "visitor" to their room later at night.
Cue, the entrance of Black mamba into their lives.
Assuming at first it's just an imaginary friend and a delayed reaction to the loss of their mother things quickly escalate into more dangerous territory.
Black mamba is coming to take them away.
Terrified and unsure what to do Alfie and Julia find themselves embroiled in a battle against a supernatural being that is asserting his dominance and malignancy and threatening the well being and lives of his children.
But is this a battle they can win?
This was a dark, chilling debut novel and if this is the quality of his work I'm really looking forward to his next offering.
Would be a great Halloween read.
