The most popular French revenge books

Revenge stories are driven by a wrong that demands an answer. Someone is betrayed, robbed or left for dead, and returns with a plan. The satisfaction is in watching it unfold, and the best of these books also count the cost to the one who takes it. Only books in French are listed.
