Description
'Great fun - a fantastic female protagonist taking on sixties gangland London interwoven with a true life serial killer storyline. A cracking read' HARRIET TYCE
'A sharp and intelligent gangland thriller, and Faith Diamond is a shrewd and steely woman navigating a fraught path through a world of violent men... a top notch read' DOMINIC NOLAN
When secrets and lies run in the family, who can you trust?
Life is tough for Faith Diamond. Growing up on the wrong side of London, with a family incapable of staying on the right side of the law, her future has only ever been about survival.
But then a series of prostitutes are found murdered: strangled and stripped naked. The only thread linking the bodies is pimp Marshall Vella - a man connected in more ways than one with the Diamond family.
Now Faith is forced to consider the possibility that the people she fights to protect might be involved in something more evil than even she could have imagined...
A new gritty gangland thriller based on a true - and still unsolved - string of murders...
