Summary

My only regret is that I shan't be alive to savour my retrospective triumph. But that is of small account. I savour it every day of my life. I shall have done the one thing I resolved to do when I was 12 years old - and the world will know it.

Follow the 'Queen of Crime' as she takes us into the mind of a man who has waited decades to enact his patient, ingenious revenge on a school bully.

Can’t believe I paid 1 credit for this

Can’t believe I paid 1 credit for this fifteen minute of nothing. Maybe my fault for not looking close enough
