"Chilling...this terrific novel is...propelled by an iron-tight plot
that becomes increasingly tense." --New York Times Book Review
"It's a nerve-shredding, emotionally harrowing ride. Don't miss it."
--Megan Abbott, New York Times bestselling author
The USA Today bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author of Never
Look Back and If I Die Tonight asks how far a grieving mother
will go to right a tragic wrong in this propulsive novel of
psychological suspense.
Camille Gardener is a grieving--and angry--mother who, five years after
her daughter's death, is still obsessed with the privileged young man
she believes to be responsible.
When her rash actions draw the attention of a secret group of women--the
collective-- Camille is drawn into a dark web where these mothers share
their wildly different stories of loss as well as their desire for
justice in a world where privilege denies accountability. Fueled by
mutual rage, the collective members devise and act out retribution
fantasies via precise, anonymous, highly coordinated revenge killings.
As Camille struggles to comprehend whether this is a role-playing
exercise or terrifying reality, she must decide if these women are truly
avenging angels or monsters. Becoming more deeply enmeshed in the group,
Camille learns truths about the collective--and about herself--that she
may not be able to survive
