The Redeemer

‘REPENT BEFORE YOU DIE … OR MAY YOU NEVER R.I.P.’ Threatening fake commemorative plaques, vigilante killings, a Jewish community in an English town – what’s the link? The clock is ticking to the next murder. After witnessing a racist incident in a small Hertfordshire town, journalist Shanna Regan uncovers a series of threatening fake commemorative plaques. Each historic marker highlights someone’s misdemeanour rather than a good deed. Delving deeper, Shanna discovers these plaques are linked to vigilante killings spanning several decades, with ties to the local Jewish community. As her search for the truth becomes personal, Shanna puts her own life in danger. Can she stop the next murder in time? The Redeemer is a compelling, thought-provoking murder mystery debut, featuring themes of prejudice and racism, heritage and identity, revenge and redemption, and secrets from the past. The Redeemer was shortlisted for Best Debut Crime Novel of 2022 in the 2022 Crime Fiction Lover Awards. Victoria Goldman was given an honourable mention for The Redeemer in the Capital Crime/DHH Literary Agency New Voices Award 2019.
