Kevin Spark

Are any of us truly free? Do we say what we mean and mean what we say? Imagine a reflection of our world where desire lives without constraint, to be the person you want to be and do the things you want to do. How terrifying would that be?

Id is a taut psychological thriller based on the concept of the primal self–the Id, shackled by the imposed morality of the ego, and what happens when the chains break?

“Kevin Spark has jumped onto the stage with a superb, uniquely intelligent debut novel that crackles with action and suspense.”

About the book

Dr. Shelly, a brilliant psychologist, forever haunted by her father and his murderous past, is driven by the need to find out why we do the things we do? Is the concept of free will just a concept and nothing more, a construct that blinds us to a less palatable truth, that who we are is predetermined and encoded at birth? Does anyone really choose to do the bad things we do or are we just doing what comes naturally?

Shelly constructs an experiment using a sensory deprivation tank and virtual reality, allowing the darkest part of ourselves, the id, to run free. Unencumbered by morality or remorse Shelly finds the perfect subject in Adam. A borderline psychotic born into a world of neglect and crime. Delving into the deepest pits of his subconscious, Shelly surfaces with far more than she bargained for.

Detective Hopper, responsible for Adam’s capture remains a broken man. After suffering a breakdown due to the escalation of his own violent behavior, he is placed under the care of Dr Shelly. Encouraging him to go looking for his own redemption, Hopper becomes a pawn in her web of deception until the lines of reality are redrawn as Hopper and Adam come full circle to an explosive end.
