Thrilled to join Bookouture for this Books on Tour!
Synopsis:
She wanted to save a life. Now she must fight to save herself.
When DC Lucy Murphy meets Debra, wife of feared drug dealer Gerard Jennings, she sees a young woman in desperate need of help. Brutalised by her husband, Debra is too terrified to tell the police what she knows. But Lucy is determined to bring Gerard down – for Debra’s sake, and for the safety of the Griffin Estate.
Meanwhile, after the death of one of his drug runners, Gerard is under pressure from his bosses to prove he’s still up to the job. Facing threats of violence as well as police interest, Gerard is getting desperate – and desperate men are the most dangerous of all.
As Lucy prepares to go undercover in Gerard’s gang to get the evidence she needs to arrest him, her beloved grandmother Winnie starts acting strangely. She mentions a man visiting her at night in her care home, but that makes no sense – does it?
Any distraction could prove deadly for Lucy and the people she’s trying to protect. But she has backed a vicious man into a corner, and he’ll stop at nothing to get what he wants.
A gritty, shocking, action-packed thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. Fans of Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and Jessie Keane will love this.
My Thoughts:
Wow oh wow!! All hail a queen of gang land crime, this book is one of the best I’ve read!!
I haven’t been able to put this book down, Casey has gripped me from early on and made it completely addictive yet impossible to leave.
I absolutely love Lucy, she is a great and likeable character. It’s no secret that I favour female authors, this is a prime example of why.
This book literally has it all:
- Likeable characters
- Characters you hate
- Victims you can sympathise with
- Crime world many of us don’t experience
I’ve definitely had all the feels reading this book. There have been moments of anger, upset and where I’ve wanted to hit Gerard myself.
I absolutely love reading Casey’s books because right when you think you know what’s coming, she hits you with a twist and leaves you on the edge of your seat.
Casey has a superb writing style which just flows nicely and you honestly feel as though you are there. Definitely recommend this one and all of Casey’s other books because there really isn’t one any less than five stars.
This is a fantastic book, by a hugely talented author and I am going to be that person- I cannot wait for the next book!!!
