Gladys Stone, Libertarian, gets elected governor of North Carolina in a fluke. She makes one mistake, though: promising an anti-crime policy she fears might be a bad idea. What policy is that? Softened self-defense laws. For the next few months, as the news is filled with tales of sactioned revenge, Gladys must face the question of whether one bad policy outweighs any number of good intentions. This is a novel that deals with questions of guilt, responsibility, retribution and self-control - and who gets to decide whether we make those judgements for ourselves. Left to our own devices and feeling threatened, what would we do?
