Two kids are murdered...Their gangland family want revenge. Ten-year-old twin sisters are murdered outside their school. But they aren't just anyone's kids, they are gangster Stanley Lewis' daughters. When a rival gangster is arrested Stanley vows to take revenge. But his dad, feared villain Kenny Lewis, thinks there's more going on. So he contacts the one group of people who he trusts to help him find the truth...Jackie, Anna, Roxy and Ollie. Four women with shady pasts who take the cases people don't take to the cops. They enter a world of easy sex and even easier violence where everyone, including the Lewis family, are hiding secrets. Then Jackie's son, a friend of the dead girls, disappears.
Reviews / Votes
'The novel's complex plot shoots along at a terrific rate, gathering momentum. But what puts flesh on the bones and raises Mitchell's writing above the run of gangland thrillers is its psychological level ... The end result is that the reader can enjoy colourful characterisation, along with the plot.' -- Independent 20110309 'Mitchell outguns Martina Cole for pure, shocking East End gangster grit. *****' -- Mirror 20110311 'Dreda Say Mitchell confirms her position as a hot new name in crime writing with this taut novel' -- Elle on KILLER TUNE 20110311 'Brilliant - a gripping roller-coaster for the reader' -- Independent on KILLER TUNE 20110311 'A great read written by a great girl' -- Martina Cole on GANGSTER GIRL 20110311 'A fine piece of British crime fiction, with an underworld theme that's sure to appeal to readers of Roberta Kray.' -- Booklist on GANGSTER GIRL 20110501More details
