Danielle Crosby had a body to die for. A body she sold to the highest bidder. But she ended up paying for it with her life. When a prostitute's body is found lifeless, mutilated and brutally raped, DCI Annie Carr has never seen anything like it and never wants to again. Retired DCI, now consultant, Kate Burrows has plenty of experience when it comes to murder - after all she caught the Grantley Ripper and broke the biggest paedophile ring in the South East. She is determined to help put the killer behind bars.

No one thinks a 17-year-old girl can take on the hard men of London's gangland, but it's a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan; she's tough, clever and beautiful ¿ and she's determined that nothing will stand in her way. Together, she and her brother Michael are unbeatable: the queen and king of organised crime. But notoriety has its price. The police are determined to put away Maura once and for all ¿ and not everyone in the family thinks that's such a bad idea.

Joanie Brewer's children mean the world to her. She'd do anything to make sure they're fed and clothed ¿ even if it means going on the game ¿ and she lives in constant fear that one of them will be taken from her. Eighteen-year-old Jon Jon is knee-deep in crime, and Jeanette, only 14, knows more than is good for her. But it's Kira who really scares her, for in a world where no one is to be trusted, her 11-year-old angel is the most vulnerable to danger.

Maura Ryan was the queen of the criminal underworld when she pulled off the most audacious gold bullion robbery of all time. Since then, she's retired from a life of crime to be with the only man she's ever loved. But enemies from her past are closing in, and they're about to learn that they should never cross Maura Ryan. The dangerous lady is back, and she's as lethal as ever.

Looking back, Nick Leary couldn't say exactly what kept him awake that night. Whatever it was, he was awake when he heard someone's footsteps downstairs, and Nick's instinct was to fight. It had always been that way, to protect the things he treasured most: his family, his privacy, his reputation. He'd grafted for these things all his life, and no one was going to jeopardise them now. Unless, of course, Nick's instinct is wrong, and what happens this time is the start of something even he cannot stop.
