Description

A father’s death. A thirst for revenge. A young woman with extraordinary skills and a dangerous secret.

Lucy Edwards was born into the world of crime. The daughter of a master cat burglar, she learned from her father how to climb where others could not, enter the most secure buildings and disappear without a trace.

But when a devastating turn of events shatters Lucy’s world, her life takes a dark and dangerous turn. Consumed by a thirst for revenge, she sets out on a path from which there may be no return.

Armed with her father’s skills, a sharp mind and a daring few can match, Lucy enters the shadowy underworld of post-war Britain, where audacious heists, dangerous alliances and hidden motives threaten to put everything at risk.

As Lucy navigates a dangerous world of deception, powerful criminals and corrupt authority, how far will she go to avenge her father? And what happens when the hunter becomes the hunted?
