Some people want justice.
Others just want revenge.
The future of law enforcement has arrived, courtesy of private health contractor Janus Justice. Their ground-breaking offender treatment programme is the most effective method of tackling crime yet.
As offenders move through the four-tiered system, their needs are dealt with, each tier more drastic in its methods;
Tier One: Low-risk crimes. Physical therapy encouraged.
Tier Two: Trauma and addiction.
Tier Three: Aversion Therapy and moral punishment.
Tier Four: Siberia, where all hope is lost.
But psychiatrist Grace Gunnarsson has uncovered a terrible flaw in the system, one that is allowing people to get away with murder.










‘A terrifying exploring of how far we can push the boundaries of science and criminal justice to protect others. Such a brilliantly constructed world, amazing concept, and the pace just does not let up. Could not recommend highly enough.’
Rob Scragg
‘This is intelligent futuristic thriller writing at its very best. The central idea is mind blowing and the characters beautifully realised. Sarah Moorhead’s writing is sharp, gripping and incredibly clever.’
Victoria Dowd
‘What a wonderful novel. Big ideas wrapped in a plot that moves like a freight train. Sarah’s got such talent, and it shines through every page.’
Stuart Turton
‘It’s excellent, great plot, very nasty villains but more importantly tackles moral and societal issues that you rarely see in crime fiction, which is terrific. I’m always interested in the balance between punishment, retribution and rehabilitation yet few crime writers go there so it’s really refreshing to see it here.’
Trevor Wood
‘A high-octane, spine-shivering speculative thriller, in which neuropsychology, crime, ethics and justice are melded in a mind-stretching concoction. Another brilliantly-original page-turner and another fab addition to the “psy-fi” genre!’
Philippa East
‘A terrifying vision of the future with a tremendous premise. A delicious speculative crime thriller that asks some deep and disturbing questions about our justice system… hugely enjoyable!’
Cameron Ward
‘Tense and thought-provoking, The Treatment has a bold narrative that’s startlingly relevant. The future isn’t so far away. I loved it.’
Sarah Ward
‘My favourite kind of thriller: intriguing, intelligent and with a complex moral question at its core.’
Simon Lelic
‘Topical, totally page-turning, terrific – everyone will be talking about this one’
Louise Beech
David Beckler: ‘A gritty and thought-provoking thriller addressing crime, punishment, retribution, and rehabilitation while keeping you on the edge of your seat.’
Moorhead takes a stunningly original and frighteningly plausible premise of a twisted criminal justice system and creates a page-turning thriller with characters readers will love and hate! Brilliantly done!

Bold, inventive and one hell of a ride!
Louise Mumford
Intelligent, original and jam-packed full of ideas. Sarah Moorhead is a Queen of Dystopia.

Compelling and complex, but still emotionally charged and devastating. It’s said far too often, but this is a book you genuinely won’t be able to put down.
Helen S Fields
Written with a lot of heart and skill
‘Thoughtful and chilling, The Treatment offers a terrifying glimpse into a wholly believable dystopian future of crime and the justice system. A brilliant crime debut.’

I love the concept for this book so much and when I started reading it I was immediately hooked into the story with the terrific storytelling as well as the incredible writing. A Clockwork Orange for the modern cohort. A slightly terrifying near future imagined perfectly. The book deserves to be huge. Brava. Do congratulate Sarah for me on a wonderful book
