Rage - Julie Evans

. .

Résumé :

In Cornwall's shadows, a lawyer and a doctor play a twisted game of revenge.

Claire McBride, a lawyer dedicated to justice, receives devastating news--her cancer has returned, and this time, it's terminal. Desperate to take control of her final days, she embarks on a dangerous mission to punish those from her past who have escaped the law.

Meanwhile, her narcissistic consultant, Dr. Issy Moran, harbours a twisted grudge. For years she's been playing judge and executioner with patients she deems unworthy, and now she has Claire in her sights. Driven by a deep-seated hatred, Issy sees Claire's diagnosis as her chance for ultimate revenge.

When revenge becomes a terminal game, who really holds the power to decide who lives and who dies?

Rage is the first instalment in the Cornish Crime series. Set in Cornwall's rugged coastline, Julie Evans delivers a gripping crime thriller where the cages of the past hold the key to a chilling present.

Biographie:

After training as a lawyer, Julie returned to her native Cornwall to establish her own law firm and to raise her three children. After years building a successful legal practice it was time for a new adventure and she decided to write the stories she had formulated in her head over the years about her community and the lives of those who find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

'I have always been fascinated by the schizophrenic character of the windswept Cornish peninsula my family has been lucky enough to call home for generations. Occupied by a cast of reluctant bedfellows, city-slick escapees and us locals who carry the remnants of our myth-ridden history etched on our backs like tattoos, it teeters between the bucket and spade domesticity of modern-day tourism and a superstitious past, riddled with Pagan traditions.

The resultant clash of cultures and sensibilities causes friction, resentment and drama. My aim, through my writing, is to explore what happens when these divergent worlds collide to expose a darker reality at odds with the picture-perfect landscape. Whilst I was lucky to enjoy a fantastically satisfying career as a lawyer I cannot now imagine anything more joyous than being able to sit at my desk and write knowing others might read and connect with my words. Cornwall has captured the hearts and imaginations of countless wonderful writers through the decades...
