The Advocate

About the Book

Only monsters that prey upon children need fear the Advocate. But those who harm children should be very afraid, because the Advocate is coming for them. After each killing, the Advocate calls the police and taunts them, encouraging all ‘decent people’ to protect our children. Soon copycat crimes start to occur across the country.

Lt. Diego Santucci is assigned to stop the serial killings. In the Heartland of America he finds children are in as much danger from pedophiles and others who would harm them as anywhere else in the world and he sets out to do his job, while learning lessons that he never wanted to learn.

Dr. Angel Akin is a child psychologist who is at the heart of his investigation, and not just because ‘people tell her things’. Akin does things to Santucci’s heart and mind that he never believed possible. Does she help him find the killer or hinder him more to find the killer herself?

The Advocate is designed to raise awareness of the problems that our children face every day and to promote advocacy for those who are in need. Proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to children’s advocacy programs.
