      About This Book

      The teenage John Baptist murdered his brother in a bathtub. Condemned to a secure mental institution, he met Mary and they bonded. But young and crazy love rarely endures. Electrotherapy wiped John's memory and he was cured.

      Twenty years later, John has become a respectable, slightly overweight and balding pillar of society with a wife and young family. Then he starts to remember...

      Told from a serial killer's viewpoint and combining elements of Criminal Minds and Dexter, The Baptist is a deceptive view of normality through the lens of a man obsessed by religious mania and a woman driven insane by lust.
