This is the third in June Hampson’s series set in the 1960’s, following the ups and downs of Daisy Lane’s life. Set in, what you would imagine to be the sleepy seaside town of, Gosport there is a violent underworld of crime that Daisy has been mixed up in for some time due to the men in her life. An author to rival Martina Cole, June Hampson writes gritty, sexy, fiction with believable well rounded characters and a realism that pulls you in to her fictional world completely.
Things have been going too well for Daisy Lane. Her murdered lover, Eddie Lane, has left her comfortably off and his son little Eddie is adorable and a constant reminder of his father. The new man in her life, South London gangster Roy Kemp, looks out for her and is kind to little Eddie.
But someone is watching Daisy's every movement, like a predator choosing the perfect moment to pounce. He is a man with murder in his heart - a man obsessed with Daisy and enraged that she turned to Roy Kemp for love instead of him. He plans to teach Daisy a lesson she will never forget.
Set in 1966, DAMAGED GOODS re-acquaints us with several memorable characters from the previous books - notably Daisy's friend Vera, queen of her massage parlour and the best mate a girl ever had, and Gosport policeman DS Vinnie Endersby who puts his job on the line for Daisy.
