About this listen

The second instalment of Kerry Barnes’s explosive new series!

Do you live by the rules or die by them?

Holed up in prison, Mike Regan is offered a deal - his freedom in exchange for his firm taking down the gang that is supplying a new dangerous drug that has hit the streets. What starts as a game soon becomes a shocking revelation with devastating consequences.

Meanwhile, Mike’s fiancé, Zara Ezra, has her own firm to run. But when the so-called Governor is out to take her down, she has her own decision to make - either fight, run, or write her own rule book....

Please, please,please keep continuing this series as its better than Cole/Chambers/Kray/Kellahers ps I dont dont normally do reviews but the last 2 books have been absolutely excellent, what a creative mind who manages to alter the status quo of the tired repetitive genre.
