"Sorrow's Retribution is a shocking story: uncomfortable, extraordinary, compelling."
Tessa Dunlop - Author/ Broadcaster
Tormented by the death of his mother, Ben Reynolds has renounced his ability to manipulate time. A decision he soon regrets when a psychotic one-eyed stranger enters his Knightsbridge apartment and shoots his pregnant wife.
Forced to watch, what to all intents and purposes appears to be a revenge attack, Ben’s ability returns. Manifesting in a way he has never experienced, it sends him twenty years into a past he knows nothing about.
It’s October 1990 and schoolgirl Allison Roper has been missing since July. There has been no ransom demand - only the sick little packages delivered to her alcoholic father.
Sorrow is a brutal ex junkie who has kidnapped Allison to destroy her father. His other captive, Joshua, the six year old son of millionaire philanthropist Louise Cruickshank, will be ransomed within the week. Sparing the children is not on his agenda.
Sarah Roper is living her life on autopilot. With the police seemingly doing nothing more to locate Allison, anyone who can offer her some hope seems to be worth listening to.
When a stranger arrives unannounced on her doorstep, and presents her with evidence that her daughter is alive, she is prepared to overlook his strange ramblings about being from the future. What she is less prepared for is the fact that she will soon come to believe him.
Drawn to the children through an inexplicable series of events and with his future hanging in the balance, Ben begins a journey that will ultimately unlock the tragic secrets of his own childhood, and finally reveal the source of his strange ability.
