Theirs was a dream life: peaceful, stable, prosperous, influential, and above all, intimate. Communications were open and unhindered. Nothing was hidden; there were no secrets. Fear did not inhabit the household. But something crept in: a poison, a subtle warning of an approaching tidal wave. Destruction was at the doorstep... A considerable departure from his debut novel SICKs, Gemm&I is a tale of deep family deceit and psychological dysfunction masked by a veneer of social status. Like its predecessor, Gemm&I is not fiction for the mere sake of entertainment; it is not a basic feel-good or escapist type of story. This work is aimed squarely at readers who love to exercise their critical and analytical muscle and who do not shy away from complex social issues within family units. Structured like a play with three acts and two encores, Gemm&I offers surprises throughout with a few fine twists mixed into a satisfying conclusion.
