Description

Payback is a killer . . .

The Revenge of Rita Marsh by Nilesha Chauvet introduces us to Rita Marsh, a good person living a double life. By day, she runs a care home, looking after the elderly and infirm. By night, she's a vigilante, posing online as young girls to ensnare and expose men who prey on them.

Rita has successfully kept her two lives separate for years. However, when an old classmate returns from her past, her two worlds start to collide. With both of her selves unravelling, Rita will have to choose between justice and revenge.

Is she a force for good—or will she become someone to fear?
