We are so excited to be hosting Dervla McTiernan, the critically acclaimed and award-winning author, to promote her latest stand alone novel ‘Three Reasons for Revenge’ – a gripping high-stakes novel of suspense about three seemingly unconnected people, caught in a lethal web of deceit and unhealed wounds.. Dervla will be in conversation with Renee Price.

This event will be held in the Terminus Theatre at The Ballarat Goods Shed. About ‘Three Reasons for Revenge’ Alexis Turner walks into the police station to report an assault.

By the end of the day, she is nowhere to be found. Soon after she disappears, three identical packages arrive at three very different doors: a respected psychologist’s home, a socialite’s mansion, and a struggling single father’s run-down apartment.

Inside, each gift is perfectly tailored to its recipient – and each will tear apart the life of its intended victim.

Detective Sergeant Judith Lee is smart and experienced, but this is no ordinary case. Someone with intimate knowledge of their targets is orchestrating these attacks.

Someone who knows exactly how to hurt each victim where they’re most vulnerable.

And she’s convinced that somehow, it connects back to Alexis Turner.

As she races to uncover the connection between three seemingly unrelated people, Judith discovers she’s no longer just investigating the game – she’s being forced to play.
