"A tightly woven tale of revenge, Retribution will keep you guessing and turning pages until the heart-pounding conclusion. A must read." –Sherry Scarpaci, author of Lullaby

"Sandra Tatara skillfully weaves a tale of suspense and revenge as she brings the story to its exciting conclusion. Not to be missed." –Helen Macie Osterman, author of the Emma Winberry mysteries

George Remington is six months shy of early retirement as chief of police in a small, Midwest town. He and his wife are looking forward to having more time to spend with their grown daughter, a divorced single mother, and their eight-year-granddaughter. Too bad you don't always get what you want.

Annie Johnson is just the crazy old woman who lives down the lane, but Chief Remington has a soft spot for the woman who has the gift of sight. Not everyone believes in Annie's gift, but George knows from experience to take Annie's visions seriously. But this time Annie's visions are personal for George and that's not good at all. There's a stranger in town causing trouble, George's daughter has a new man in her life, and a wicked storm is brewing in the air.

Considering all the angles, George thinks back to a case earlier in his career when he played a key role in the apprehension and arrest of a local man who robbed a grocery store and killed the store owner. A few years into his prison sentence, the man's wife died, leaving their ten-year-old son to bounce through the foster care system. Now, years later, George can't help but wonder if that case might be coming back to torment him and his family, but something just isn't right.

Is the stranger linked to George's past or simply a man who came upon some bad luck on the road while traveling, as he claims. Either way, Chief Remington knows he has to do something fast or it could cost him those he loves most dearly.
