It sounds like TIGER, TIGER (aka THE STARS MY DESTINATION)
which is most definitely a revenge tale. (Couldn't tell you
about any Jacobean influence/references as unfortunately I've
never read any of those guys although they've always sounded
interesting to me. They sound like gangster yarns & I've
always been a sucker for those). So many books ... yatta
yatta.
