โA wonderful novel. Big ideas wrapped in a plot that moves like a freight trainโ Stuart Turton

'A Clockwork Orange for the modern cohort. A terrifying near future imagined perfectly' Imran Mahmood
The future of law enforcement has arrived, courtesy of private health contractor Janus Justice. Their ground-breaking โOffender Treatment Programmeโ has been hailed as the most effective way of tackling crime yet.
As offenders move through the four-tiered system, their needs are dealt with, each tier more drastic in its methods:
Tier One: Low-risk crimes. Physical therapy encouraged
Tier Two: Trauma and addiction. Emotional and psychological reasons for offending are examined
Tier Three: Aversion therapy & moral punishment
Tier Four: Siberia, where all hope is lost
But Grace Gunnarsson, one of Janusโ most highly regarded rehabilitation psychiatrists, has uncovered a terrible flaw in the system, one that is allowing people to get away with murder...
โA high-octane, spine-shivering thriller, in which neuropsychology, crime, ethics and justice are melded in a mind-stretching concoctionโ Philippa East
