When the system fails, justice must take another form.

When two convicted rapists walk free on appeal, the town of Deception Bay splits down the middle. The men swagger onto a packed cricket ground on Australia Day to a heroâs welcome. Before lunch is over, dozens of people fall ill. Among them, the newly released men.

As panic rips through the town and emergency services buckle, Detective Antigone Pollard and her partner, Wozza, scramble to figure out what has happened. Is it an accident? Or was this deliberate?

When Antigoneâs mother, a doctor, vanishes while responding to a call for help, Antigone enters a desperate race to find her. But time is running out.

Antigone faces a choice and, this time, she doesnât wait for permission. With no good options left, she does what she always does â" relies on herself.

The Reckoning is an unflinching, morally uncompromising crime novel about thwarted justice, institutional failure, exacted revenge and the price paid when the system looks away.
