Raw, darkly funny, and relentlessly gripping, Cracked introduces Danny Cleary—a woman pushed to the edge and ready to fight back. After the collapse of her stormy marriage, Danny spirals into a dangerous addiction, her crack cocaine habit conveniently delivered by a dealer who is polite, efficient, and more than a little unhinged.

But when Danny’s twin sister Ginger is brutally murdered, self-destruction gives way to fury. Teaming up with her rock musician brother, Danny flies to California to track down her orphaned nephews—and the people responsible for her sister’s death. Battling addiction, nosy cops, violent drug dealers, and her own fractured psyche, Danny embraces her inner vigilante and takes justice into her own hands.

Fast-paced and unapologetically sharp, Cracked is a dark comic crime novel that blends revenge, family loyalty, and redemption. As Danny fights both external enemies and her inner demons, the search for a killer becomes a brutal journey toward survival and self-reclamation.

Perfect for readers who enjoy gritty crime fiction, strong female leads, dark humour, and revenge-driven thrillers.
