Payback is a killer . . .

Rita Marsh is a good person.

By day, she runs a care home, looking after the elderly and infirm.

By night, she's a vigilante, posing online as young girls and snaring the men who prey on them, exposing them for what they are.

Rita has successfully kept her two lives separate for years. But when an old classmate returns from her past, her two worlds start to collide. With both of her selves unravelling, Rita will have to choose between justice and revenge.

Is she a force for good - or will she become someone to fear?

'An assured debut, tautly plotted, with a striking female lead and deft handling of its dark subject matter.' LISA BALLANTYNE 'Kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing until the end. This is an assured debut by Nilesha Chauvet who has created an original and flawed protagonist.' NINA MILLNS 'A masterful and utterly compelling revenge thriller.' A. E. GAUNTLETT 'Powered by the twin engines of female rage and sexual repression Chauvet has created a potent thriller for the post-Me Too age.' CHARLOTTE VASSELL

'Pacy and absorbing, this is a novel that deals with complex and dark issues, with heart.' L. V. MATTHEWS
