Description
'A twisty and engrossing thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.' Karin Slaughter, International Bestselling Author
Humiliated by a man who held her career in his hands, Dana Diaz's life and reputation are in tatters.
Drowning her sorrows one night in a bar, she gets talking to a stranger, Amanda - and finds that she, too, has a story to tell.
Over a drink, Amanda proposes a plan:
The women should take revenge on each other's behalf.
Stalking and tormenting the people that wronged them carries a thrill - and one act of revenge soon leads to another. But while this may be an addictive game for two, only one can survive.

Reviews / Votes
'A twisty and engrossing thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.' Karin Slaughter, International Bestselling Author'So sharp and well-written, and a protagonist that I just adored' Lisa Hall, bestselling author of Between You and Me
'May be the first standout suspense novel of 2019. Female rage, stand-up comedy, Highsmith homage, and some surprises that got even me.' Sarah Weinman, author of The Real Lolita
'Harrowing and razor-sharp thriller, feels both ripped from the headlines and utterly timeless as it takes on gender and violence and the far limits of female rage. As the story twists and turns, you'll feel breathless, troubled and helplessly propelled to its deeply satisfying final pages.' Megan Abbott, author of You Will Know Me
'Savage, brilliant, and pulse-poundingly gripping ... an explosive answer to America's long ignored culture of sexual violence. Gentry's gift for tapping into both the humanity and darkness of every character works its way into the reader's subconscious, making us attempt to draw an impossible line between justice and vengeance. An absolute must-read for 2019.' Mindy Mejia, author of Leave No Trace
'A heart-pounding look at the line between justice and vengeance, and what happens when someone leaps over that line. It's also a thoughtful look at how women are perceived and treated in male-dominated industries and beyond, and the lasting effects of such treatment, shedding light on an important and pertinent topic in our culture.' Rena Olsen, author of With You Always and The Girl Before
