About The Book
Seth was an adolescent when he discovered he had a flair for killing; he simply enjoyed it. Killing was exciting, and as he grew older, it gave him a purpose. But the urges stopped the day Rachel moved in next door. She became his best friend; no one was more important to him. Rachel remained his one true friend until the day she died—when the plane her husband was piloting inexplicably crashed, killing most of her family. When a second plane crash takes the life of Rachel’s surviving daughter, Seth’s thirst to kill again awakens. As he searches for the reason behind the tragedies, he begins to discover a grisly truth—one that renews his sense of purpose and prepares him to unleash retribution on everyone involved.

“T. K. Walls has blown my mind with this murder mystery thriller. Retribution plays out like a Criminal Minds or CSI episode, causing you to remain on the edge of your seat in anticipation as to what will happen next. Seth is a unique character that I haven’t ever encountered before. A large portion of the story is from the point of view of this serial killer. We read and get a glimpse of how the sociopathic mind works. I found his character very fascinating and refreshing, know that it wasn’t just from Emily’s point of view, which I thought was the case when I first started reading. Not only is Seth’s character flawless, but the storyline is so engaging and a new approach to a murder mystery. With each new twist and revelation, I found myself eager to continue reading. It’s definitely a great read for someone who is into crime stories, whether they are made up or true crime. I am looking forward to more works by T.K. Walls.”

“Retribution by T. K. Walls is a short crime thriller that gets the reader hooked from start to finish...The author wastes no time serving it hot as he introduces the action from the first page of this book. There is never a dull moment as the story has a captivating and intriguing plot... Everything that makes a good story was aptly captured — background details, suspense, intrigue, twists and turns, and moments of serendipity. I saw this book as a paradigm shift in the way fiction is supposed to be today.”
– Official OnlineBookClub.org Review | 4 out of 4 Stars
“If you are looking for a quick thriller read, this is the book...The author really jumps to getting into the nitty gritty. There are details on the characters lives, while also throwing in action from the beginning. When you start reading and getting to know the characters, it doesn't seem like the book is going to be the way it really ends up being...I give it 5 stars for all the twists and turns that I did not expect”
