Cut on the Bias - Paperback

by Susanna Bonaretti (Author)

I killed seven men so far; another fourwould make no difference.They each deserved to die.

England, 1905. Rebecca Victoria Davies-Australian, bastard, and unrepentant murderess-has spent three decades delivering justice where the law refuses to tread. Now embedded in the Metropolitan Police's covert Special Branch, she is charged with hunting the men abducting and murdering young aristocrats. But Rebecca has her own reasons for pursuing predators, and none of them are written in any statute book.

When a criminal gang seizes Lady Katherine, niece of their intended victim, Rebecca and her mentor Major Williams are dragged into a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of Special Branch. Old ghosts claw their way back into Rebecca's life: a forbidden love that ended in blood, the men she killed in Australia, and the revenge she took when justice failed her.

As loyalties fracture and a madman orchestrates a deadly game, Rebecca must choose between the vengeance that shaped her and the unexpected possibility of love. To save Lady Katherine-and herself-she must finally confront the madman.

Cut on the Bias is a razor-edged tale of justice, desire, and the frayed seams of a life cut against the grain.
