A GRITTY GANGLAND THRILLER FROM BESTSELLING WRITER D. E. WHITE.
Eleven years ago, Holly’s brother disappeared and his girlfriend was killed. Leaving behind her crime boss dad, and her boxing career, Holly walked away from the violence and didn't look back.
Holly has tried her best to forget the traumatic events of her past, making a new life for herself and her young son away from the notorious Seaview Estate. But when she’s involved in a car accident and regains consciousness to find a strange child on the backseat, she’s drawn back into everything she’s been trying to escape from.
Who is the child and where did he come from?Already struggling to deal with her volatile ex-husband, Holly now finds herself haunted by long-buried secrets. Devril Mancini is back in town. A former boxer, once the love of her life, he is now a journalist investigating rumours of human trafficking on the Seaview Estate.

When her son is abducted, Holly quickly finds out she has never forgotten how to fight, and she would do anything to save her son... Even if it means going back to where it all began.

Seaview Estate series one.
One night one mistake, her fault or was it?
Oh wow I just could not put this book down Holly and Dev's story is mind blowing right through. Gangland crime thriller at it's best.
Exceptional writing from the author without a doubt.
I could not fault any of this book.

This was a terrific thriller by D. E. White. It's starts on a chilling note and has an even more chilling climax. I'll admit the first couple chapters were filled with a lot of character names and the story was a little hard for me to follow (some of that was my fault for being a distracted reader). However, once the secrets started getting spilled and the kidnapping happened, I was in this mystery and desperate to find out which of the many suspects were responsible. I have to say that I was most impressed with how White handled the grief of the main character Holly after her son was taken. A lot of times in stories like this, I feel like authors show an initial grief and then go right into the solving/action. White continued to remind us of the pain, agony and desperation that Holly was feeling. I found it to be very real and moving, and it made me care deeply for her and the situation she was facing. I hope there will be more in this series. Highly recommend.

Totally gripping
It took me a little while to get into this book ... then I couldn't put it down!
It starts slow, ramps up the tension, then draws you in all the way to the nail-biting finale.
