Sweetpea is coming home at last

Newly married, with a loving family surrounding her, everything's coming up roses for ex-serial killer Rhiannon Lewis, right

Wrong.

Her husband has just been shot, and the daughter she left behind in the UK is desperately ill. Shes got no choice but to flee the States and return home, back to her roots, where shes in danger of being recognised and arrested at any moment.

Only nothing is quite as it seems

With a series of bad choices in front of her, and the authorities right behind, Rhiannon's in a hell of a hole and she needs to dig herself out of it pronto. But help can come from the most unlikely places. And even more unlikely people

Dark, depraved and devilishly delicious. A full throttle savage and satirical thriller John Marrs
