The killer

A glossy and gripping crime thriller about survival and vengeance, it puts the pedal to the metal as it hurtles through contemporary London, from the glass towers of the super-rich to the down and dirty backstreets of organized crime and blackmail.

She was a woman, so they thought she'd be easy to kill . . . Kaz Phelps is on the run - from the past, from the legacy of her criminal family, from the haunting memories of her murdered lover.

The police want her back in jail and her enemies want her dead.

While standing by the grave of her gangster brother, Kaz realizes she only has one option.

To fight back. Nicci Armstrong was one of the Met's best detectives until personal tragedy forced her to quit.

Now she's responsible for the security of the super-rich who use her city as a playground.

She is one of the few people Kaz might trust. But Nicci's biggest mistake yet is falling in love with a man she knows is only using her. Meanwhile, as envious rivals back home plot against him, a Russian billionaire searches for a special gift to keep the Kremlin onside, a disgraced politician dreams of revenge and a Turkish drug baron plots to purge his dishonour with blood.
