About the book

Rita Marsh has two lives. By day she cares for the elderly, and by night she hunts down men who prey on young girls. But now a suspect is dead, and the police are on her tail. When an old school friend shows up with her own dark story to tell, Rita can’t help herself being drawn to danger – and her two worlds start to collide. How far will she go for justice? And how much further for revenge?

‘Such compulsive reading. Covering dark, disturbing topics, its ferocious energy takes you on a wild, thought-provoking ride.’ Jennie Godfrey
