Summary

An eye for an eye. A murder for a murder. That's the mantra Cara Stone has always lived by — until the morning she's arrested and her past threatens to rip her life apart.

She grew up with nothing: no family, no future. Now she's a respected true-crime TV producer, righting injustices and staying one step ahead of the law. Then, advances in DNA testing bring a cold case back alive. Suddenly, Cara isn't chasing the story — she's the suspect.

To stay out of prison, Cara is forced onto a dangerous path that takes her from the streets of East London to the glittering shores of Paradise, a private island dripping with money and secrets. Owned by a billionaire couple with an appetite for young girls, it's a playground for presidents, tech giants and rock stars.

They think they're untouchable. Cara Stone is about to prove them wrong.

This is an absolute page turner, so much going on, I was gripped from start to finish. Cara Stone is an amazing character and you might recognise nods to other types of characters all through this book which makes the sometimes incredible storyline a little more like current affairs (which says more about the state of the world than anything else). If you like a thriller with multiple plot lines that builds and weaves, with action, pace and a light dusting of feminism, this is the book for you!

A contemporary heroine and avenging angel to match the Saint of a previous era. On the side of justice if not strictly lawful. I was hooked all the way through and kept wondering how Cara was going to get out of this.

A pacy thriller that keeps your attention to the end

I was immediately captivated by bold characters and gripping storylines, set in beloved East London. You’ll be rooting for Cara on her mission for justice and perhaps even aspire to take up boxing like her.

Daring debut!

The central character is brilliantly written and you’re rooting for her from the very beginning. It’s a great novel full of dramatic moments and high tension. Looking forward to more from the author.

A must listen!
