When it comes to vengeance, age is just a number. Gloria Jones has had enough. She's sixty-five, approaching retirement, and nearing the end of her tether. If she gets abused in the street by another toerag, someone's going to swing. When Gloria collects a gun she saw being thrown into her local park, her decision to turn it in is quickly scuppered after she's attacked on her way to the police station. Using the gun to make her attackers back off, she accidentally pulls the trigger and ends up killing them both. In that moment, her life changes forever. As she struggles to come to terms with what she's done, Gloria begins to realise there is injustice all around and finds herself transforming from a shy, peaceful woman into a confident and ruthless vigilante, determined to help victims of crime unable to defend themselves. And so begins a three-month campaign, taking revenge against violent criminals up and down the country, helping those who can't help themselves. After all, who's going to question a little old lady just going about her business? Turns out, quite a few people, on both sides of the law, and one in particular seems to know exactly what she's been up to.

Autorenporträt
Evan was born in Pembury, Kent in 1956 and attended grammar school in Tunbridge Wells. He left the Metropolitan Police after 30 years service in 2011, serving as one of the countries first Football Intelligence Officers until 1996, then transferring to West End Central, where for 15 years he worked in Soho. For several years, Evan helped run the Soho Unit, specialising in combating drug dealing in the West End. During his career he frequently ran test purchase and buy-bust operations against drug dealers, resulting in the seizure of large amounts of drugs, and the successful prosecution of large numbers of dealers, many of whom received lengthy prison sentences. After retiring from the Metropolitan police in July 2011, Evan opened 'Sweet Expectations' in Rochester, Kent, the UK's first vegetarian sweet shop. In 2016 he sold the shop business and retired, before taking up writing in January 2019.
