Synopsis

'The real deal . . . Rosie Gilmour is a captivating character who drags the reader along at breakneck speed' Daily Express

A money-laundering accountant disappears in Romania. The hitman hired to disappear him is found dead in a Glasgow flat. And the owner of the flat, the accountant's widow, claims she knows nothing about it.

Crime reporter Rosie Gilmour isn't convinced by Helen Lewis's innocent facade - she is convinced Helen was the one who ordered the hit on her husband, and she's going to prove it. But when she discovers that Helen's husband worked for a ring of gangsters selling babies from Romanian orphanages, her focus shifts. Now she has two sets of criminals to bring to justice - she'd better pray they don't catch up with her first.

A nail-biting thriller for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Dreda Say Mitchell and Jessie Keane

Halen Kettleman is a young actress, spoiled to the bone and unbearable to those around her. She does drugs, is a heavy drinker and doesn’t know ratshit from rice crisp after those drug and alcohol soaked nights.

I really enjoyed this book. Halen was your typical rude, bratty, entitled starlet whose ego was bigger than her actual career. She was not a likeable person, and her entire world was fake just like her friends. Tracer is a Hitman for hire. He was hired to do a job, and that job was to eliminate Halen......more
