Cure Guaranteed: A Dark & Disturbing short Justice story
*Since this is a single short story, it is intended mainly for KU (Kindle Unlimited) readers rather than any expectation that it should be purchased as a regular eBook ... *Please note, this story now also appears in my new collection - 'Dark & Pushing the boundaries of Justice & Retribution'
We've all been horrified by the inexplicably lenient sentences some of the most heinous criminals seem to get, especially child molesters and the like. It's impossible not to ask how anyone can live with themselves when they defend such monsters when they come to court, be it the barrister, solicitor, or, worst of all, any of the supposed do-gooder 'experts' who will make up ridiculous excuses for such behaviour - anything but blaming the monster in the dock! The answer of course is that it's their job, to either defend or mitigate for the defendent to the best of their ability ... but what if one of those do-gooder 'experts' has other ideas and is working to an entirely different agenda? Read on to find out ... Enjoy!

Never a tinker or even a tailor, though once a soldier and an occasional sailor. I’ve fought my battles in many a playground and field, with make-believe guns and then riot shields. I’ve stood my ground toe to toe in the ring. But now I’m older and maybe a tiny bit wiser, wondering now what the future may bring.
I’ve hung up my gloves and also the guns, put aside my days and life as a lad, exchanged them all for a screen and keypad. And now it’s my characters that march, where I fear to tread. And when they die they really stay dead, no miraculous recoveries or surreal shower scenes, or of waking up from a season-long dream.
Each word that I write strives to leap from the page, each page that I write urging the reader onto the next. I write what I know and imagine the rest. I write in black and white, leaving your imagination to make of it what you might. If all you want is simplicity and colour from the start, something to satisfy an instant entertainment fix, there’s always cable or even Netflix.
We live in an age of instant information, of every type of visual stimulation, and worst of all, of effortless entertainment. Read on then, dear reader, if you like what you’ve read, I promise I won’t let it go to my head (actually that’s a lie, we authors have an ego the size of a city).

Subterfuge takes many forms, and when the active participant is in a Rudders story, the end result is far from a foregone conclusion. This is an enjoyable tale that should be read carefully so as not to miss the hidden clues.
