The Price Of Revenge: A Dark Suspenseful Crime Thriller

Her job is to catch a serial killer, she never expected to be covering for one.

Detective Emily Sinclair has spent her life chasing justice, but when her childhood best friend Ava is brutalized by men who walk free, Emily is forced to confront a hard truth: the system isn’t broken, it’s working exactly as designed. Money buys verdicts, silence, and the right to destroy lives without consequence.

That changes when those untouchable men start turning up dead.

As bodies pile up, Emily finds herself erasing evidence, manipulating crime scenes, and walking a line between law and vengeance. She tells herself she’s protecting Ava. That justice, real justice, sometimes requires getting your hands dirty.

Then Rookie Detective Ryan Hunter is assigned to her team.

What starts as an obligation quickly becomes a complication Emily never saw coming. The more she tries to keep him at arm’s length, the harder she falls.

When Ryan gets too close to the truth, Emily begs Ava to stop. But Ava has her own agenda, and Emily begins to fear Ryan won’t just uncover her secret, he’ll become Ava’s next victim.

Now Emily must decide how far she will go to protect a friend, and what happens when the person you’re trying to save becomes the monster you can’t control?

In a world where trauma breeds violence, Emily is about to discover that sometimes the greatest threat isn’t the guilty, it’s the ones we’re desperate to protect.
