Belladonna

Welcome to Dawnsbury - a small town in North West England...
A small town plagued by crime and two serial killers.

Meet Sofia Minsky - a small town artist drowning in poverty and loneliness, and who actively seeks out vengeance for the injustices she faced as a child. Dubbed "The Belladonna" by the media, she leaves a trail of nightshade-laced victims in her wake, all while confiding in the enigmatic Doctor Renard Laurent, a man who only fuels her lust for violence.

Meet Silas Morris Foster, another serial killer that emerges within the unsuspecting town. Driven by religious fervour and a thirst for holy retribution, he targets sinners and is ultimately dubbed "The Dawnsbury Disciple".

As an unlikely friendship develops between Sofia and Detective Robert Turner, she must tread lightly so as to maintain her freedom and innocence. However, with Detective Turner's keen insight into the human psyche and his strong intuition, as well as being at the top of the Dawnsbury Disciple's list of sinners, Sofia must find a way to outwit both the Detective and the religious zealot before she becomes their next target.

Dive into this chilling psychological thriller where the lines between justice and vengeance blur, and secrets lurk in the shadows, waiting to be uncovered!
