Amid the heat of Brazil, explosives expert Jaq Silver has one goal - vengeance. When her enemies take what she treasures most, she will do anything to make them pay. But a series of betrayals leave Jaq unsure of those she can trust, and she realises she'll need to complete the mission solo. And as everyone hunts down the same mysterious box, Jaq becomes increasingly embroiled in a web of far-reaching consequences. It seems there's a hidden agenda, but can Jaq be sure she is chasing down the right target? And who is pursuing her?

A feminist James Bond-style thriller for fans of Killing Eve

The Chemical Detective was shortlisted for the Specsavers Debut Crime Novel Award and The Chemical Reaction was shortlisted for the Staunch Prize
