When police pay a visit to an elderly peeping tom, they unexpectedly
stumble upon a loose thread that leads detective John Custer into
a murky world of sex crimes and serial killings, of hidden graves
and socially impeccable paedophiles. Ignoring the scepticism of his
colleagues and superiors, Custer doggedly follows his intuition that there
really is something very wrong that needs to be discovered, however cold
the trail seems to have become.
Inspired by some of the many paedophile conspiracies that have been
uncovered in recent years, and the cases of abused children, The Hobby is
a psychological crime thriller, ranging from the fan club of a 1940s child
star, through Istanbul and war-torn Burma and Cairo, to 1980s Britain.
Custer and his assistant, Sergeant Jolly Campbell, seek to bring justice to
the forgotten victims, while themselves going through their own quest
for personal redemption.
Genre: Mystery
