Exquisite Art of Getting Even

Revenge sometimes causes people to act blindly through anger, rather than reason. In each of these four tales, revenge is a dish best served cold. Tantalising and amusing, these stories show off a darker side, but carry with them the author's trademark warmth and humour.
