'A chance to reconnect.
A chance to get revenge . . .

'Emily Toller has tried to forget her time at university and the events that led to her suddenly leaving under a cloud. She has done everything she can to forget the shame and the trauma – and the people involved. She has tried to focus on the life she has built with her children and husband, Nick.

'But events like that can’t just be forgotten. Not without someone answering for what they’ve done.

'When an invitation arrives to a University reunion, everything clicks into place. Emily has a plan.

'Because if you can’t forget – why not get revenge?'  (Publication summary)

'You’re lying, sprawled at the bottom of the stairs, legs bent, arms wide. If I squint, you could be playing Sleeping Bunnies. Or maybe Twister.

'I wish I could tell you how the blood pooling around your head looks like a halo. But you’re past listening.

'I need to let the paramedics in. And then I have to be careful.

'Because as the energy trickles out of your body it’s pumping into mine.

'And while this could be a tragic accident, if anyone’s got a motive to hurt you, it’s me.

'Bec and Izzy have been best friends their whole lives. They’ve been through a lot together – the death of Bec’s mother, the birth of Izzy’s daughter, Bec’s engagement.

'But there’s a darker side to their friendship, too – and Bec is about to reach breaking point.

'Then Izzy is found broken and bloodied at the bottom of the stairs.

'It could have been an accident – perhaps she fell – but if the police decide to look for a killer, then Bec is sure to be their prime suspect.'
