Elliot Stappler has been in love . . .

with Holly Simons Towler for twenty-three years, since the first time
he saw her in high school.


Holly didn't know he existed then and she doesn't know he loves her
now. Nor does she know the extremes to which he is willing to go.     

She did not marry Elliot. She forgot all about Elliot as high school
turned into college, as college turned into the rest of her life. She grew
up, married and settled into a comfortable lifestyle with her husband,
Peter Towler.

She is an author, he is a builder of luxury homes. They have a house
in a beautiful area of a Philadelphia suburb, three wonderful kids and
a shaggy dog named Stella. They are still happily married, still in love
with each other after more than ten years of marriage.

Elliot spent his childhood afraid and abused. He watched his sister die
at his father's hands. Elliot was next in line and the beatings became
more excruciating as he got older. He watched his mother, always the
pathetic victim, submit to Louis. He struggled to hide the family
secrets all his life. The alternative was too hideous to contemplate.

His mother instructed him to find someone to love and protect as she
could not, someone who would return that love and protection. He
listened. She ingrained those precious words into Elliot's young mind
as she wiped away his tears and tended to his battered wounded body.

Elliot obeyed. Elliot found someone to love and protect. Elliot found
Holly. He protected her. He waited until the right moment each time,
studied and watched until Holly would have jsut enough time to
grieve and then to see just him. Just Elliot. He'd be waiting and then,
he'd love her forever and protect her forever, just as he promised all
those years ago. Elliot kept his promise. He eliminated all obstacles
that arose to prevent fulfillment of his goal.

There's only one problem.

Elliot's idea of protection and elimination is murder.
Dedication:
This is for any and all who have loved and failed or
failed to love. To those we never saw and should
have and to those we saw and
never could have. May you know the difference and
correct it before it's too late.











































When does love turn into
obsession, obsession into
psychosis?

When does psychosis
become evolution?

When does evolution
become mutation?

The power of the mind can
accomplish what should be
against the laws of nature.


Those parameters are
stretched to their limits
and beyond,
beyond the pain and
sorrow of an unfortunate
soul who reaches out in
the only way he knows to
be loved, protected, to love
and protect.

Reason to Kill explores
those questions and
parameters.
". . . Murders are
usually
committed for
only two reasons,
only two. He said
that everything
else boils down to
the same two
reasons to kill."

from Reason To
Kill

Well....who's story is this anyway?

It might be Elliot's story, about the results and dire consequences of
extreme child abuse.

It might be Peter's story, about what happens when an insane killer
steals everything he's got, including his wife and his life,

Or--

It might be Holly's story, about the depth and range that one woman's
heart can hold, for Peter.

For, in the end, it's the tribute to Peter that Holly writes, alone in her
room, with just herself and her computer,
keyboard, click, click, clicking way,
beginning with . . .

'Holly's house was the fourth on the right. . ."
