Description
A BRAND NEW gripping gangland thriller from Gillian Godden! Perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers and Martina Cole ??Alex Silva has done his time. Now, he just wants a fresh start.
After years behind bars, Alex is finally free and determined to go straight. No more trouble, no more deals-just a clean slate for him and his family and a legit life running his old pub. But the streets don't forget, and neither do old enemies.
Coming home isn't the reunion he hoped for. With his daughter Deana missing, Alex discovers the kids have dragged the wrong kind of trouble to his doorstep. A turf war is brewing and for the first time in his life, Alex is on the losing side.
Now Alex has a choice: stand by and watch everything fall apart, or go back to the men he betrayed-the ones who won't let him walk away twice.
Either way, his new life might be over before it even begins...
