To those they anonymously instruct, they are the Teachers, but they call themselves the Banshees, after the grisly Irish specters whose wailing foretells death - appropriately, since death is what they teach. The beautiful, wealthy Russian émigré, Nika Varon, and her red-haired Irish consort, Alanna Quinn, travel the world, instructing fellow victims of pedophile rapists in how to safely murder the men who destroyed their childhoods. Their obsession with homicidal vengeance is matched by FBI profiler David Lapin's obsession with putting an end to their lethal activities, despite having no evidence against them. In this dark and violent stand-alone sequel to his novel NIKA, Anthony Land delves deeply into the psyches of the two female avengers, their acolytes and their nemesis, as the stain of death and tragedy spreads to encompass villains, victims and the innocent alike. The female avenger was a literary taboo for 2,000 years after the ancient Greeks revealed its horrifying potential in Medea, Clytemnestra and Procne. In THE BANSHEES, that ancient psychological horror is revived in all its tragic fury.
