Story Behind The Book

A long time ago, when I first started managing people, our HR Manager pulled me aside and gave me a piece of advice that not only have I never forgotten, but has proven true time and time again. "No good turn goes unpunished" Many years later, when I had finished the first of my Greek novels, I decided to write a short story based on that piece of advice. I wrote the story and ended it with a cliff hanger. The thing was, I engaged with the two characters so well, Rachel the protagonist and D.E.M. the mysterious vigilante, that I wanted to continue. This book came from that. The first chapter is the original short story that I wrote.
