She steps out of a white Porsche in five-inch heels and a red dress that doesn't wrinkle. In one hand: a sledgehammer. In the other: six months of silence, grief, and rage.
Vivian Roche was once a luxury escort with elite clients and deeper secrets. Now she's something else entirely-something sharper. When her sister's death is buried as a suicide and the man responsible walks free behind mirrored sunglasses and gold chains, Vivian trades silk sheets for concrete floors and daytime violence.
At a sun-bleached oceanfront motel, justice isn't a verdict. It's a choice.
And it weighs forty pounds.
