With the secret’s power to destroy their lives, they must keep their search for answers hidden from the FBI. Warren joins his friend Sam, an ex-FBI agent turned private investigator, to identify and stop the culprit before the promised acts of reprisal can take place.
As the threat intensifies against them all, Warren must uncover the source of evil, and halt it, before the horrifying final act of Retribution.

About the author
Alison Clifford
11 books43 followersAt the beginning of December 2013, I sat down at my computer and started typing. I had a story in my head that insisted on being released and four months later I had written my first novel.
Writing is not new for me. I've been writing since my teenage years. It is only now that I have felt the urge to take it more seriously.
My credentials? I don't have a degree in writing and I'm not published extensively (yet). My first job was the Australian Army Reserve and I left only to enlist in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). I loved the life and it has left me with an interest in the things military and law enforcement related. Another passion in my life is research. I love to find out about things and have been doing that since high school. Not content with set assignments, I used to take up my own research projects on a wide range of topics. So rest assured, if it's in one of my stories, I have researched it extensively. Having said that, there will be occasions when I need to take a bit a license, bend the truth to fit the story.
I love writing. I love letting the story inside me come to life on a page. It's intoxicating. The pure pleasure I experience is something incredible, so I will keep writing for as long as the stories keep appearing in my mind. If someone else enjoys reading what I write, then that increases the joy I feel. Winners all round!
In brief:
Age: Old enough to have grown three grown children.
Lives: Tasmania, Australia.
Inspiration for stories: Music of all kinds, overheard comments, strange news items.
Interests: Motorsport, reading, research.
Guilty pleasures: Self-confessed stationery junkie.

Retribution is a well written novel that takes place in Washington D.C. Although Warren and Beth, the main protagonists, are at the heart of the story, they are not alone. The plot highlights the interactions between three couples, who are tied together by overlapping friendships and a shared secret from the past. At first, I was a bit confused by the multitude of characters, but as the story progressed their distinct personalities and back stories emerged. Both suspense and the romance were well developed within plot. The story moved along at a great pace, with interesting twists and turns along the way. If you are a fan of romantic suspense/thrillers, you will enjoy this book.
BTW, the author is Australian, meaning she uses non-American spelling and you might occasionally encounter an unfamiliar turn of phrase – but nothing that can't be understood from context.
