Vigilante

Shelley Harris

Jenny Pepper never expected to end up like this. Tired of her job and her lacklustre marriage increasingly marginal in her teenage daughter's life Jenny stumbles into a vigilante rescue one night; suddenly her world is exciting again - and she's a hero. In secret - in costume - she walks the streets of her small town seeking to right wrongs. But secret identities are tricky to maintain and Jenny's need for adventure is beginning to cost her dearly.

Then amidst the petty crime a terrifying villain appears. He's attacking young girls - and Jenny's daughter is at risk. As she starts to see less and less clearly through the mask Jenny finds her fantasy life becoming frighteningly real.

We all want to be extraordinary and we all have a moment in our lives when we realise that we're not. VIGILANTE is about a woman who didn't accept it gracefully.
