After Nancy Richards is sent to prison, her daughter Jeanie is placed in the care of Edna Baker, a respected figure in London’s East End. Under Edna’s roof, Jeanie should be safe.

That changes when a corrupt copper threatens to send her to Laxville Children’s Home.

Edna, fully aware of the brutal reputation of Laxville, must fight to keep Jeanie out, knowing that the evil place would destroy her. As it had done to all those children before.

In a bid to protect Jeanie, Edna calls on two of Soho’s bosses, Ganni Cassar and Vic Menzie.

But lurking in the background is someone far more sinister. Buster Reynolds isn’t after money to settle the family’s debt. He wants Nancy, and if he can’t have her, her daughter will do.

With Ganni Cassar looking out for her, Jeanie begins to see for herself how dark the underworld is. Thrust into rivalries she doesn’t quite grasp and into secrets that are fiercely protected, she must adapt fast if she wants to come out alive.


A bent copper, a ruthless creditor, and Soho’s underworld closing ranks.©2025 Kerry Barnes (P)2026 W. F. Howes Ltd Crime Thrillers Thriller & Suspense Exciting Scary

I adore Annie’s narration (as always) but for me the story lacked the depth I’d expect from a Kerry Barnes book, I have thoroughly enjoyed all of her other books but I found this one frustrating, not enough background of main family and barely any reference to Nancy until the end. But still read it and although enjoyable I was left wanting more.

Ok but not the best Kerry Barnes release
