Clara Sterling has spent twenty years married to a man who has systematically dismantled her. When she finally acts, she acts with precision. Richard Sterling does not survive the dinner party.
But Clara cannot disappear without leaving something behind. The financial irregularities at Richard's company need a face, and Arthur Thorne, the one man who ever showed her an unremarked kindness, is the right shape for the frame.
Arthur spends seven years inside for crimes he did not commit. When he comes out, he has one thing: a plan.
Retribution is the first book in the Bend of the Lake trilogy. It is a story about what we do in the dark and what follows us out of it.
