What happens when a woman refuses to accept the horrors that life has meted out to her?
Meet Lucinda Beste ... accident victim, orphan: ignorant of her parentage, raised by an uncommunicative grandmother. Now married and a victim of domestic violence, Lucinda finds she is no longer able to have children, and, as a result, develops an obsessive-compulsive disorder and a tendency to self-harm. But eventually something snaps in the ungainly and angst-ridden Lucinda. Yet another vicious beating prompts her to murder her abusive police-officer husband, Graham, making his death seem accidental. Discovering that she is to be the recipient of a considerable legacy ... Graham's ill-gotten gains ... Lucinda uses the money to eclipse her old identity and persona, morphing into the seemingly indomitable academic, Dr Meg Scrivens. Whilst exercising her fearsome intellect that has, until now, lain dormant, Meg stomps around her university's Sociology Department in her red DMs, terrifying colleagues and students alike and plotting the downfall of her despised boss, Professor Flint.
As she moves into this new and adrenaline-charged phase of her life, Meg acquires two new friends, Tisi and Alex, and the three women settle down to what appears to be a life of domesticity in London. But all is not as it seems beneath their carefully cultivated veneer of normality ... for there are two other abusive partners to get rid of now: art dealer, Killian Fitzherbert, Alex's old lover, and shady underworld crook, Sonny Lavender, Tisi's erstwhile partner. Together the three women embark on an orgy of killing, at the same time indulging in a very unusual social life. As they transform their identities they become, in effect, The Three Furies: Megaera, Tisiphone and Alecto ... Meg, Tisi and Alex, hell-bent on vengeance. Until love and friendship get in the way ...
As it moves between London, Cornwall, Istanbul and the west of Ireland, this story ... with its larger than life characters and elements of fantasy, horror, and the supernatural ... is something of a modern-day fairytale.
But a fairytale for adults only...
