Only the Small Bones - C.P. Harris

A celebrated music composer and founder of an anti-trafficking organisation becomes obsessed with helping a traumatised, non-verbal young man rescued from horrific abuse after no one else can reach him. As the two isolate themselves together, their bond turns increasingly intense and unhealthy, forcing buried trauma, dangerous secrets, and blurred emotional boundaries to the surface in a dark story of survival, obsession, and redemption.
