Synopsis

“A dark and deadly story, one to keep your attention, page after page.”An opportunist act throws a disturbed teenager into conflict with local drug dealers, and headlong into a covert drugs operation. Something happened to trigger her self-destructive descent, but what? Was she abused? Is she amoral? Why would the child of politician choose to live on the streets rather than have a Maserati for her eighteenth birthday? DI Redwall is determined to find out, and save this lost child, but Jessie's chances of survival seem slim.This is no lightweight story, but an engrossing drama of one girl's fight to live in a world that doesn't care.“A spine-tingling, roller-coaster ride. The well-developed character and tight, fast-paced plotting is typical Lewando; the ending will blow you away.”“I loved it, Lewando has a real talent.”“I opened it and read 28 pages just standing there…”“Far better than a Superwoman comic book or movie.”“Chris Lewando has a knack of telling a story you can really get into.”“This book keeps you on the edge of your seat, with lots of twists and turns.”“Fast moving, imaginative, fun to read, thought provoking. Impossible to put down.”
