Vengeance Falls

“A stylish crime thriller about the difficulty of escaping one’s origins.” – Kirkus Reviews

“West’s attention to the heartbreaking plight of foster children in America gives readers a cause to champion, marking this character-driven suspense with surprising depth.” – BookLife

An on-the-run thriller about two sisters living very different lives.

Beck Gideon, a tech savant, has just secured an investment in her AI startup at twenty-two. Hard work and determination have helped her overcome the challenges of being orphaned at birth. Her next-gen application is designed to shepherd children, Lost Ones like herself.

Her older sister Riley is a Lost One, so when she shows up on Beck’s doorstep in the middle of the night, covered in blood with a dead body riding shotgun, everything Beck has worked for is put at risk.

The killing of Riley’s boyfriend, the prodigal son of a powerful family, forces Beck back onto the streets she thought she’d left behind, a world of blackmail, murder and corruption. Her ingenuity and Riley’s survival skills are their only hope of exposing those responsible, but first, they must heal their fractured relationship.

For the truth is far worse - and cuts closer to home - than either of them realizes.
