"Wow! What a read! Unputdownable!" Woman's Own

"It will have you on the edge of your seat." Edinburgh Times

The terrifying noir thriller from a major new writer, Redress presents a nightmare scenario: a man so tortured by the brutal killing of his own wife that he seeks consolation - redress - in the idea of a new partner who has experienced the same awful grief as himself. But to find that partner, he has to create the conditions for her grief. He has to kill, in the most terrible way. Then he has to groom the bereaved for her future life with him. The problem is, he's never quite satisfied. How many people have to die before he feels the scales have been balanced?

Adèle Hartley is the creator and Director of Scotland's international horror film festival, Dead by Dawn. This is her first novel.
