Book Description

Publication Date: 5 Aug 2010
Daisy Sullivan's father was one of London's most infamous gangsters. Haunted by his violent death she vows to live a respectable life. That is, until the day her mum, who abandoned her when she was young and who she barely remembers, barges back into her life.

Daisy discovers her mum is the queenpin of a prostitution ring and the head of one of London's most feared underworld families - the Kings. She is drawn into their next criminal act - a bank job that turns out to be no ordinary robbery.

Soon she is running for her life and the only person she can trust is up-and-coming gangland bad boy, Ricky Smart. 

She'll have to use every dirty trick her dad ever taught her to stay alive . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Martina Cole & Mandasue Heller...be afraid! 3 Sep 2010
By Best Books To Read TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have a large list of authors that I repeatedly pre-order books for and at least 70% of them I have read every one of their books. However, I enjoy adding new authors to that list and Dreda has just shot straight to the top of it.
Nearly all of my books are brought through Amazon and every time I pre-ordered a book by Mandasue Heller, Martina Cole or June Hampson this authors name kept popping up. What caught my attention was the reviewer rating for each of her 4 books. 2 of them had the maximum 5 star rating and the other 2 were a 4 star and 4.5 star. I decided to take a chance, ordered her latest release and hoped I wouldn't regret it.

TAs I opened the book and started to read I was transported back to the time when I read `The Ladykillers' by Martina Cole. The reason I say this is that when I read that first Martina book she had a raw energy which hooked you as a reader (it's just a shame it doesn't still happen with MC). There was the same feel with this book and I just knew I was onto a winner. Dreda Say Mitchell has a knack with her writing style which conveys an authentic feel to the story and characters. It took me no more than 3 chapters to be totally absorbed.

Daisy Sullivan is a brilliant character who I adored from the very beginning. Yes she is a gangster's daughter but this element of her was not overdone and the storyline that drags her past into the present is totally perfect. There is nothing about it that felt over the top and she was the perfect mix of bad girl turned out good. The other characters which appear are also written with equal skill. Ricky Smart is the opposite of Daisy but as soon as he comes into the story you can't help but want him to be the perfect match for her.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty Realism 1 Aug 2010
By Paul P
Format:Paperback
Again DSM produces a book full of surprising twists and turns. Every chapter brings in a new complex situation. Vived characters just leap out of the page and grab you by the throat. This really is writing at its very best. This book uncovers a part of London underlife that we know exists but we're all too pleased to ignore.
