A naked man is found dead on the mudflats near an English seaside town. If it is a simple case of drowning, what are the whiplash marks on the man's back? To one young policeman, it looks like a punishment beating. He suspects foul play by vigilantes and sets out to solve the mystery. But it is no mystery to the brutal Terry Naylor. He has been the victim of the furies and he seeks revenge. Three women - beautiful, successful, but disturbed Fiona; middle-aged, deserted housewife Marjorie; and lonely, frightened student Clem - have little in common except a burning sense that the rule of law has let them down. Linked by their determination to see justice done, they take the law into their own hands. Unaware that both Naylor and the law are closing in on them, they plan one final act of vengeance. This is a compelling read.
