A razor-sharp assassin thriller with a female lead and relentless global action.
High-stakes contracts. Elite killers. No room for weakness.
She’s the best at what she does. She just can’t afford to slip.
Acid Vanilla runs an elite assassination outfit where precision is everything. But as a major contract pulls her team into South Africa, the job starts to unravel before it even begins.
A powerful target, rival operatives, and a city crawling with danger should be enough to handle. Instead, Acid finds herself distracted, off-balance, and chasing something far more personal than the mission.
As pressure builds and the operation starts to fracture, every decision drags her further from the plan. And in a world where hesitation gets you killed, losing control might be the one mistake she can’t recover from.
Dark, fast-paced, and brutally direct, Born Savage is the next instalment in Matthew Hattersley’s Acid Vanilla thriller series. Perfect for readers who like sharp-edged action, morally grey leads, and high-risk missions with bite.

Matthew Hattersley grew up in Yorkshire, UK, where he mastered the arts of loud music, dramatic exits, and impossible plot twists. Over the past two decades, he's toured Europe in a band, trained as a professional actor, and founded a theatre and media company — all ideal prep for crafting thrilling page-turners. Now, he writes adrenaline-fuelled thrillers and crime novels. His bestselling Acid Vanilla series follows a wily yet flawed assassin teetering on the brink of an existential crisis who, between high-stakes escapades and calculated revenge, realises that redemption is also a killer's pursuit. Matthew lives in Derbyshire with his wife and daughter, who keep him on his toes — and grounded in reality.
