Summary

She was a madam in a brothel, then a gangster's moll. Now Annie Carter owns the East End of London, and God help anybody that crosses her….

It's 1970, London, and there's a killer on the loose.

When gang boss Annie Carter gets a call, suddenly it's personal. A close friend of hers is the latest victim, and another is in the frame for the murder.

With the hated Delaney gang still causing trouble and NY mob boss Don Constantine Barolli's family making no secret of the fact that they hate her, she senses a feud blowing up in all their faces very soon.

To save her old friend, Annie has to try to find out who's been targeting the girls. Before long she's diving headfirst into the seedy underbelly of the streets.

How long before the killer strikes again? And who will be the next victim?

Good but not as gripping as the first two

Really getting into this series, great stories well written, however, I started struggling towards the middle of the book, it got a little boring. Picked up for the last quarter or so and I’d still recommend reading it.

Annie carter story continues to grip

As far as this particular story goes, it’s pretty much what you expect. Gangland rivalry, murders, violence and lots of tension. I’ve enjoyed this series, but got a bit bored mid way through but thankfully those last few chapters were exciting. I’m certainly looking forward to the next chapter! As always the narration by Karen Cass was excellent
