Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Once a victim, she's now a vigilante. An addictive and suspenseful thriller for readers of Candice Fox and Sarah Bailey.

Unforgiven (Lexi Winter Book 1) introduces Lexi Winter, who is tough, street-smart and has stood on her own two feet since childhood, when she was a victim of the notorious paedophile, the Spider. All she cares about now is a roof over her head and her long-term relationship with Jack Daniels. She isn't particular about who she sleeps with, as long as they pay before leaving.

Lexi is also an ace hacker, tracking and entrapping local paedophiles and reporting them to the cops. When she finds a particularly dangerous paedophile whom the police can't touch, she decides to gather enough evidence to put him away. Instead, she's a witness to his death...

Detective Inspector Rachael Langley is the cop who cracked the Spider case 18 years earlier but failed to protect Lexi. Now, a man claiming to be the real Spider is emulating his murderous acts, and Rachael is under pressure from government, media, and her police colleagues. Did she get it wrong all those years ago, or is this killer a copycat?

Lexi and Rachael cross paths at last, the Spider in their sights, but they may be too late...

Phenomenal. Lexi Winter is the gritty hero I didn't know I needed... I'm now desperate for more - bestselling Australian author Nicola Moriarty

About the Author

Sarah Barrie is the author of nine novels, including her bestselling print debut Secrets of Whitewater Creek, the Hunters Ridge trilogy and the Calico Mountain trilogy. In a past life, while gaining degrees in arts, science and education, Sarah worked as a teacher, a vet nurse, a horse trainer and a magazine editor, before deciding she wanted to write novels. About the only thing that has remained constant is her love of all things crime. Her favourite place in the world is the family property, where she writes her stories overlooking mountains crisscrossed with farmland, bordered by the beauty of the Australian bush, and where, at the end of the day, she can spend time with family, friends, a good Irish whiskey and a copy of her next favourite book.
