A night like this wasn't dark. It was draped in a veil of very cold blue, hanging just above them, like the red fog, but peaceful. That is how he would draw it, with the statue at the centre.

It only takes one anonymous phone call to ruin somebody's life, and in a society of abuse obsessives everybody has their hand on their phone, ready to dob somebody else in. The results are disastrous; not only for the individual people, but for the next generation. The Inquisition is back - but this time they are after parents.

Reviews
This book is available via the author's website for $5. Go to www.nonentiti.com and you can order your very own copy or even multiple copies. Why would I want to I hear you ask. Good question.
Nōnen Títi has written and published this book in light of the upcoming referendum on the "anti-smacking" law. It's a relatively short narrative that could be read in under an hour, showing the disastrous effects of one anonymous telephone call. It is set in a neighbourhood where everybody is afraid of the police and of each other, of being "dobbed in" and of having their children taken from them.
While the story is written in third person, we see events through the eyes of several characters and each person's perception of the incident that started the action.
This story is bleak. There is no happy ending although characters do come to realise that perceptions may have been wrong and conclusions jumped to that were not altogether correct.
If you're against the "anti-smacking" law, this may be a book that you buy to distribute to those whose sensibilities are not so clear-cut.
A terrifying and eye-opening read.
