Four women had a plan. Barricade themselves inside a suburban house and starve to death. It almost worked, but one survived. She alone knows why they did it. Can she be trusted?

It's a puzzle. Dead Right reveals the truth.

The novel explores the complex relationships between these women, their fears and motivations and how the men in their lives - the domineering father; the weak, immature brother and the abusive, unfaithful husband - alienated and motivated them, inspiring and moulding their plans.

Their story unfolds against dramatic events taking place in Northern Ireland and the wider world.
