Revenge is Wild Justice is part of the Dalton trilogy. It is set in Edwardian England where the wealthy Somerville family and the poor Dalton family live. Blacksmith's son Adam Dalton crosses the class barrier to become friendly with Sir Charles Somerville's neglected children, Philip and Juliette. Sir Charles is a respected member of society but he is a wife beater and is involved in paedophilia. He is eventually murdered and the book traces the lives of six people who have a motive to kill him. There is a sexual coming of age involving the three teenagers, encouraged by the local goodtime girl, Molly Dancey. But their relationships are doomed, so they each leave the village to seek their fortunes. Adam joins the Titanic, Philip becomes a pilot in the RFC and Juliette goes to the Continent. When World War 1 begins in 1914, Adam and Philip are reunited in the RFC and Juliette becomes a spy. Sir Charles becomes a director in Intelligence. Sir Charles is murdered in revenge for his misdeeds - but by whom?
