Retribution is a psychological and legal thriller novel. The novel introduces Chloe Larson, a brilliant law student in New York, whose life is shattered one night when she is brutally raped and tortured in her apartment by a masked man. Twelve years later, after assuming a new identity as C.J. Townsend, she has become a tough and highly respected Major Crimes prosecutor in Miami. She is assigned to a high-profile case against a vicious serial killer nicknamed "Cupid," who has been terrorizing Florida women. The police catch a suspect, William Bantling, but during the prosecution, C.J. recognizes his voice, realizing he is the same man who attacked her years ago. C.J. is then thrust into a complex ethical and emotional dilemma. The statute of limitations on her original rape case has expired, and revealing her personal connection could jeopardize the current serial killer prosecution and potentially allow the killer to go free. The plot moves at a rapid pace through the courtroom revelations and C.J.'s internal struggle to balance her legal duties with her deeply personal desire for vengeance.
