The indisputable queen of the violent, gritty, gangland thriller which, although concentrates on the woman’s view of this seedy underworld, I wholeheartedly recommend her to the male reader too. Just try her, she’s got something special.
Comparison: Sheila Quigley, Mandasue Heller, Jake Arnott.
Similar this month: None, but try Margaret Murphy or Lynda La Plante.
