Description
A gripping gangland thriller from the Queen of Urban Crime, Heather Burnside.
WILL JUSTICE BE SERVED?
Hannah Conway overhears a lot while working behind the bar of a nightclub – friendly gossip, lovers' quarrels, bad business deals – but nothing that usually involves anyone she cares about.
Until she hears Jez Reilly, a corrupt businessman who runs the club, talking about the street her grandma lives on. Jez wants to buy the land for a new luxury development, and most of the residents and businesses have already agreed to sell up. But for those who refuse, something sinister is in store.
When violence hits close to home, Hannah swears revenge, working with handsome nightclub regular Russ Coles to bring the mobsters down.
But these men don’t take kindly to people messing with what’s important to them – especially their money…
