'Well into MARTINA COLE territory' Independent

'A cracking good read' JESSIE KEANE

ON THE STREETS OF LONDON, DANGER LURKS EVERYWHERE . . .

Liv Anderson can take care of herself and she knows how to make money in a man's world. The daughter of a convicted murderer, she's made her way in one of the roughest parts of London by entrapping men and extorting them for money. But Liv is playing a dangerous game and soon finds herself in trouble with the city's most notorious gangster . . .

To repay her debt, Liv is forced to pose as a secretary for a local property developer and report back on his movements. She has no idea what she's looking for, but she'll do anything to stay alive. And after the murder of a local prostitute and the disappearance of a friend, Liv is starting to think survival may be harder than she realised.

But Liv isn't only concerned with repaying her debt - she also wants to know more about her father. As she desperately tries to uncover the truth about his past, her suspicious behaviour places her in grave danger. But when you're working with gangsters, who can you trust?

Full of the same danger and grit as its London setting, this is Roberta Kray at the top of her game. Get ready for a KILLER read . . .
