Daisy Sullivan's father was one of London's most infamous gangsters. Haunted by his violent death, she vowed to live a respectable life. That is, until the day her mum, who abandoned her when she was young and who she barely remembers, barges back into her life.
Daisy discovers her mum is the head of one of London's most feared underworld families - the Kings. She is drawn into their next criminal act - a bank job that turns out to be no ordinary robbery.
Soon she is running for her life. The only person she can trust is up-and-coming gangland bad boy, Ricky Smart.
And she'll have to use every dirty trick her dad ever taught her to stay alive . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mitchell's earnest follow-up to Geezer Girls focuses on Daisy Sullivan, a 26-year-old lawyer, who fondly remembers her late father, a notorious London gangster, even though she's "ashamed of the terrible things he'd done." When Charlie Hopkirk, Daisy's mentor at her law firm, dies suddenly, Hopkirk's law partner asks her to go through the dead man's office and keep an eye out for anything "interesting." Daisy finds a suspiciously locked medicine cabinet that proves to be but the first of many repositories of secrets. Daisy is later stunned to run into her birth mother, 42-year-old Stella King, whom she hasn't seen since Stella abandoned her 20 years earlier. She's even more upset to learn that Stella is a vicious madam, tied to one of London's most brutal crime families. A hunky ex-con with a hidden agenda lends Daisy a hand in a gangster thriller more likely to appeal to romance fans than to those seeking gritty accounts of mean streets.
