Unforgiven (lexi Winter Book 1): The Suspense-filled First Instalment In The Gripping Psychological Crime Thriller Series.

In Unforgiven by Sarah Barrie, a fiercely paced **psychological crime thriller** kicks off a dark Australian series where survival, justice and obsession collide. Lexi is street-smart, stubbornly independent, and trying to keep her life on track after a childhood shattered by a predator known as the Spider.

Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Rachael Langley is back in the spotlight. Years ago she solved the Spider case, yet a fresh string of crimes suggests the truth might still be out there. As pressure mounts, Lexi and Rachael are pulled into the same orbit, each holding pieces of a terrifying puzzle.

Perfect for readers who love **Australian crime fiction**, **vigilante thrillers**, and cat-and-mouse investigations with a gritty edge. Add it to your cart and meet Lexi Winter from the very beginning.
