WHO CAN YOU TRUST, WHEN YOU CAN'T TRUST FAMILY?

Sheltered and naïve Carmen Darby has lived under the thumb of her father, Rex, a brutal criminal businessman, her whole life. But when Rex announces his retirement and plans to leave his vast wealth to his three daughters, Carmen doesn't thank her father as effusively as he'd like, enraging him. Cast out from her home, Carmen assumes a new identity and starts her life over, but she knows she can't outrun the sins of her family forever.

Meanwhile, her sisters, disappointed by the terms of their inheritance, formulate a vicious plan to get their money in full. They'll kill whoever stands in their way, even their own father. But they aren't the only ones who'd love to see Rex dead. Surrounded by backstabbers and treating his allies like dirt, it's only a matter of time before someone snaps.

And when they do, is Carmen perfectly set up to take the fall?

Full of the same danger and grit as its London setting, this is author Roberta Kray at the top of her game. Get ready for a KILLER read!
