Book Description
Could you fall in love with the man who killed your family?
It is eighteen years since Danni’s husband and three-year-old son were killed by an IRA bomb in central Glasgow, and she still can’t move on from the tragedy that has blighted her life. As a fresh wave of violence sweeps through Ireland, she decides she needs revenge.
A journey into the dark heart of the Belfast underworld brings her face to face with the sinister Pearson and his enigmatic, one-time accomplice Johnny. As Danni struggles to hold onto her sense of purpose in a world where the idealist and the psychopath seem indistinguishable, she is drawn into a battle to save the life of Stella, a young prostitute. But who is Johnny and why is he helping her? Did he plant the bomb that killed her family? And most disturbingly, what exactly are her feelings for him?
Fast-paced, emotionally pitch-perfect and with a heart-wrenching ending, Kiss the Bullet is a page-turner as gripping, intelligent and satisfying as they come. **CONTAINS READING GROUP GUIDE WITH AUTHOR INTERVIEW AND SUGGESTED TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION**

Editorial Reviews
Review
Praise for Catherine Deveney
Scotsman
‘
Kiss the Bullet is as engrossing a character study as it is a gripping tale of long-sought revenge . . . Deveney grabs you at page one, and then slowly, resolutely, tightens her grip’Scotsman
‘I was driven to the ending . . . very good indeed’
‘The element so often neglected or missing altogether in commercially driven thriller fare is characterisation, and here too Deveney excels . . . Fans of fast-moving, emotional thrillers will enter her world easily and leave it reluctantly’
‘Deveney whisks you up into a thriller-paced romance loaded with sex and violence’
‘Moving and thought-provoking’
‘Maeve Binchy and Rosamund Pilcher fans will enjoy Deveney’s matching of landscape and mood as well as her sensitive handling of a crucial moment in a woman’s life’
‘A stunning debut’
