Buckle up for a wild journey into the dark heart of the 1% - the perfect heist novel for our twenty-first-century political moment, for fans of Yellowface, V for Vendetta, Tarantino, and Irvine Welsh.

Perhaps one reason not enough people kill billionaires is it's actually quite tricky...

Hopeful and exciting. Funny and heartbreaking ... I want to read more books like this! - Mikaela Loach

I wouldn't be surprised if it became a handbook for the revolution. I just loved it! - Patrick Alley

When her home is destroyed in wildfires, fourteen-year-old Australian outback genius Kayla Connolly decides to hunt down the culprits of climate changeโ€”billionaires. She teams up with Mr P, a giant ex-soldier from Tuvalu whose home is being flooded by rising sea levels.

Together, they find ingenious ways to kill a property developer building on protected wetlands and a mining company CEO poisoning the earth with toxic chemicals. They also find an unexpected ally in Nancy, a wealthy elderly woman with a shocking past.

The trio's mission soon develops a life of its own, taking them first to California to crack billionaire tech bros and then to London for super-rich oil executives, spawning a global movement along the way. In pursuit are the FBI and Detective Sergeant Kate Anderson of Scotland Yard, but Kate is having doubts about whether Kayla is even in the wrong. Will Kayla be able to stay ahead of the game and pull off one final, remarkable hit?
