'No matter how big and fast and strong you are, how heavily armed or well trained, there's always going to be someone out there who is bigger, faster, or stronger. Always.'
To Aud Torvingen violence is a tool, one to be employed with precision. And it can be taught-but when she teaches a women's self-defence class in Atlanta the consequences shake her to the core.
To regroup, she travels to Seattle to meet her Norwegian diplomat mother and her mother's new husband while handling what should be a run-of-the-mill real estate fraud. But her commercial property is being used as a movie set, big money is in play, and someone is sabotaging the production.
Nicola Griffith is the Lambda, Nebula and World Fantasy Award-winning author of nine novels, including Hild and Spear.

She is a dual US/UK citizen and lives with her wife, fellow writer Kelley Eskridge in Seattle, in a house on the edge of a ravine.
