All For One – A novel by Paul Sainz

Description

The first novel by Paul Sainz is a gripping and raw portrayal of a man losing his battle with mental illness during his devolving into the world of serial killing.

“There’s no question she has to die; she nearly killed my son. But how can I eliminate her without immediately incriminating myself? How do other killers manage it? How do serial killers do it? Could I enlist a serial killer to do the job? Could I emulate a serial killer and commit the act myself? What if I am the serial killer?”

In a quiet UK midlands town, a disillusioned white-collar worker navigates life on the brink after a bitter divorce and relentless cacophony of self-deprecation. His sole anchors are his young son and a silent obsession for Lauren, a work colleague who stirs both idolatry and self-loathing within him.

However, when his son suffers life-altering injuries in a car accident he is pushed over the edge – cultivating a relentless obsession with revenge against the driver, Bowers, an 18-year-old girl whom he sees as escaping justice. As he spirals into darkness, he plots a deadly revenge of murder.

But as the prime suspect how can he avoid suspicion? By mimicking the work of an existing serial killer? Risky, he could take the fall for the other murders. How about becoming the serial killer and hiding Bowers in the trail? Launching headfirst into killing strangers to create his own cover, navigating a treacherous dual life of father and colleague one day and cold murderer the next.

With mounting tension and psychological turmoil throughout, “All for One” explores the chilling depths of the human psyche, delving into the mind of a complex and tormented protagonist, raising questions about the nature of justice, morality, and a darkness that can swallow you whole.
