What happens when an old high school bully intrudes into your life with a proposal you can't refuse ? literally?
And how does a cryptic note about a fig tree trigger a deadly chain of events?
Detective Billie McCoy is forced to confront a past she'd rather forget when Becky Nolan reappears with a chilling demand. Consumed by revenge, Nolan is determined to recreate an incident from their school years, one that left her humiliated and scarred . . . only this time she plans to control the outcome.
Soon after Nolan makes contact, Billie vanishes. Alarmed by her sudden disappearance, Billie's three closest friends join forces with her lifelong friend from school who knows Nolan's troubled past. As they follow a trail of clues tied to old memories and hidden locations, they realise Nolan's obsession runs far deeper than anyone imagined.
Time is running out.
Caught in Nolan's twisted plan, Billie discovers just how ruthless her former tormentor has become. For Nolan, revenge isn't enough. She is willing to break every law and cross every moral line to reclaim the power she believes Billie stole from her all those years ago . . . and this time, someone may not survive.

Carol lives on a property outside the small country town of Childers in Queensland, Australia. Married with three grownup children, she is now retired from working in a primary school as a Teacher Aide, where she also looked after the library and drove the school bus. Most of her life Carol has played in a four-piece band with her husband and they have now formed a duo after the band folded.
Carol began writing in the 1980's. At the time, there were no known heroines so she was inspired to create Detective Billie McCoy, a member of an elite undercover squad intent on bringing her enemies to justice. It wasn't until years later she decided to publish the series.
Carol loves to travel, both abroad and in Australia, which she is now discovering more of in her caravan.
