The Spider Man Colin Alcock

As a young boy Clive O'Shea loved walking with his father down country lanes, intrigued by the multitude of miniature life he showed him: especially the spiders. Then his father disappeared and his mother held him to blame. Though he never knew why. As he matured, he began to realise that his mother, Margaret, had adopted a lifestyle he despised: and maybe she deserved the blame, not him. Then, he found out why he would never see his father again. Incensed enough to want his mother dead, and plagued by lurid dreams, he set out to expunge an evil common, so he believed, to womanhood and in so doing set upon a path of fantasy, abduction and death. When teenager Andrea Courdon failed to return home, one night, DI Linda Warshinton was given the task of finding her, quickly and alive; but what she uncovered was a distressing thread of dismay, spun by the ever-elusive perpetrator, leading to a confrontation with The Spider Man.
