Gangland

by Jessie Keane

The Darke family and their associates are under attack. Ruby's burlesque club has been razed to the ground. Her son Kit's closest associate, Rob Hinton, is dead. And when Ruby's lover, gangland boss Thomas Knox, is blown to pieces by a car bomb, everyone suspects a rival gang. But is that the truth?

As Kit and Ruby trawl the mean streets of London in search of answers, Daisy, Rob's bereaved young widow, cannot control her grief and soon she is attending illegal raves, picking up strangers and attending seances, while Rob's younger brother Daniel is handed the unenviable task of keeping her safe.

DI Romilly Kane is also on the case and her investigations into these horrifying events takes her deep into the underworld, where she crosses swords with mad, bad Fabio Danieri, the London boss of the Naples Camorra. And soon she is face-to-face with Kit again. The gangland underworld is deep and dark and dangerous, like their never-to-be-repeated passion.

All they have to do is stay alive and outwit someone who seems hellbent on revenge ...

About the author

Now what about me? I’ve done a lot of writing, but way back before I even dreamed I could be a professional writer I was just the youngest in a big family. My Dad was a surveyor with an edge of brilliance. My Mum was from gipsy roots and used to drive around in a goat-cart (yes, really!) when she was little. Once we were rich (although I didn’t know it then, and it was all thanks to my Dad’s ingenuity) and then suddenly – pretty shockingly, really – we were poor (thanks to greedy people who exploited his kindness). I have to tell you, rich is better. But the great thing about life is, even painful events pass, and if you make bad choices, hopefully you learn from them.

Big fan of Jessie Keane and this book did not change my mind, strong characters, at times uncomfortable reading but keeps you guessing and wanting to read more
