The explosive new thriller for fans of gangland fiction! It's time to get reacquainted with Ruby Darke - behind every strong woman is a good story.
The Darke family and their associates are under attack. Ruby's burlesque club has been razed to the ground. Her son Kit's closest associate, Rob Hinton, is dead. And when Ruby's lover, gangland boss Thomas Knox, is blown to pieces by a car bomb, everyone suspects a rival gang. But is that the truth?

As Kit and Ruby trawl the mean streets of London in search of answers, Daisy, Rob's bereaved young widow, cannot control her grief and soon she is attending illegal raves, picking up strangers and attending seances, while Rob's younger brother Daniel is handed the unenviable task of keeping her safe.

DI Romilly Kane is also on the case and her investigations into these horrifying events takes her deep into the underworld, where she crosses swords with mad, bad Fabio Danieri, the London boss of the Naples Camorra. And soon she is face-to-face with Kit again. The gangland underworld is deep and dark and dangerous, like their never-to-be-repeated passion.

All they have to do is stay alive and outwit someone who seems hellbent on revenge ...

Dubbed 'Queen of the Underworld', Jessie Keane is of Romany gypsy stock. She was born rich, in the back of her gran's barrel top wagon, and her family thrived until their firm crashed into bankruptcy and became poor. Her father died when she was a teenager and she fled to London to escape grim reality, finding there a lifelong fascination with the criminal underworld and the teeming life of the city. Twice divorced and living in a freezing council flat, she decided to pursue her childhood aim to become a writer. She sold her wedding dress to buy a typewriter and penned her first Annie Carter book, Dirty Game. This was followed by five more Annie Carter books, all Sunday Times bestsellers, then Ruby Darke arrived in Nameless, Lawless and The Edge. Jessie's stand-alone novels include Jail Bird, The Make, Dangerous, Fearless, The Knock and The Manor.
