Book Four in the Terrell Newman Detective Series
The House of Correction

When a prominent lawyer is found ritually murdered in what appears to be a sadistic frenzy, Newman is led into the twilight world of BDSM and sadomasochism in his search for the killer. He discovers that the dead lawyer was a frequent visitor to the "House of Correction", a slave farm run by an expatriate Englishman in the hill country outside San Antonio. Among others to come under suspicion is the lawyer's daughter, who advertises herself on the Internet as "The Goddess of Darkness" and invites prospective "slaves" to worship her.

A cautionary note: this is one of three titles in the Terrell Newman series (House of Correction, Goddess of Darkness, and Goddess in a Cage) which explore the dark world of bondage/discipline and sado-masochism. While invested, as are all titles in the series, with humor, tenderness, poignancy and memorable characters, these three books are not recommended for young readers or for others who might find the subject matter disturbing.

Read the first chapter.
