The new novel by the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Eyes Are the Best Part

Junyoung and Dahye are colleagues; he has a taste for voyeurism, and she a hunger for revenge.

Molka (n): the Korean term for spy cameras secretly and illegally installed, often to capture voyeuristic images and videos.

Dahye has met the man of her dreams — Hyukjoon, who happens to be the heir to a multi-billion fortune. Till one day, a video of them having sex goes viral. She is all over the internet and he is nowhere to be found.

Junyoung is a nobody; a nothing office worker who harbours a dark secret: in every women's cubicle, shower, and bathroom in his workplace, are cameras — his secret cameras. Junyoung spends his days watching and preying on his unsuspecting female victims.

Soon his perverse obsession turns to Dahye — but this time, he has chosen the wrong woman to wrong. When Dahye's pain turns to blind rage, she decides that she will not rest until he has paid in blood...
