desperation and hypnosis are a lethal combination in the hands of psychopath Marcus Sands. When he chances upon an old book on covert hypnosis techniques, the subtitle seemed to speak directly to him, 'How to hypnotise anyone, anywhere to help them get what they want or to help you get what you want'. What the penniless Marcus Sands wanted was money and he didn't care how he got it.The murders and mayhem that follow his discovery of the book, and the lives of his victims and the policemen and policewomen that tried in vain to stop him, could not have been envisaged by the author of the covert hypnosis manual, 'Hypnotised'.
