🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Robert F. Barker
Robert likes telling stories that are edgy and dark, yet credible enough for the reader to believe they could be based on some reality, which they often are. He found that reality can be much stranger than anybody can dream up. During his time as a police officer, he soon learned that no matter what people’s position is, where they live, they are not too far away from where darkness dwells. Be it the inner city sink estates, where violence rules and drugs are being dealt, or in the leafy suburbs where there are lace curtains and neat gardens hiding the kind of evil that nobody ever imagines until the worst thing possible happens.
