Soul Driver

by Mike Thomas

He’s English, living in Spain with his beautiful wife, whom he loves, never failing to call when he’s away at work. He’s rich, has an interesting job, great house, he’s well thought of, liked by all, he’s obsessed by the rain, needs to be understood and appreciated as he carries his soul around with him in the back of his car. He’s a compulsive killer. He sees, he assesses, he kills at random, distributing the bodies to isolated places all over Europe. His unpredictability leaves Ortega, always one step behind, following his trail of victims from the UK to Spain, Italy and France.
