Synopsis

Clinical psychologist Tony Hill has had a good run. He and police detective Carol Jordan have put away scores of dangerous criminals at a rate that colleagues envy. But there is one serial killer who has shaped and defined their careers, and whose evil surpasses all others: Jacko Vance, ex-celebrity and sociopath, whose brilliance and utter lack of remorse have never left Tony's mind in the ten years since they put him behind bars. With a twisted and cunning mind honed by long years of planning, Jacko has now pulled off the perfect escape and is determined to wreak revenge on Tony and Carol for the years he has spent in prison. They don't know when Jacko will strike, or where, or even who. All they know is that Jacko will cause them to feel fear like they've never known.

A chilling, utterly gripping tour de force, The Retribution is an unforgettable read.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As detective Carol Jordan is set to move from downand-out Bradfield to a new post in nearby—and less crime-ridden—Worcester, Tony Hill, her longtime criminal-psychologist colleague, wonders if there might also be new horizons for their complicated relationship: he and Carol have been brought together professionally over the years by ruthless crimes, which has led to an undeniable—but maddeningly stalled—personal connection.

But sex workers are being targeted and viciously killed in Bradfield, and it’s up to Carol to determine if the murders are connected—and where the killer might strike next.

Meanwhile, in a nearby prison, someone is dreaming of rare steak, fine wine—and revenge. Jacko Vance, former sports hero and TV celebrity, murdered almost twenty teenage girls before being caught. He knows exactly who is responsible for putting him behind bars, and Tony and Carol are at the top of the list. Following an audacious escape, he’s on the loose and planning to teach them all a lesson they will never forget. Now the pair are squarely in a psychopath’s crosshairs—and he’s just getting started.
