The Sandie Shaw Mysteries, The Family

Revenge can be a force hard to fight. When it's a family matter, sometimes it works both ways. Even after nine years.

Sandie and Daphne discover their office has been wrecked, the day after the crime boss Sandie's father was responsible for putting away died in prison. Nine years have passed since he brought down the family, and lost his life in doing it.

It was the tragic event that led to Sandie taking over the family business. For a year afterwards, the need for revenge burned away inside her. Then she accepted she'd already got it. The family had been destroyed because of her father's determination to take them down.

The head of the family and his eldest son were incarcerated for a long time. The hoods who worked for them but escaped prison went to work for Capone or Moran. The family was no more.

Or so Sandie thought. The wrecked office is a sign someone hasn't got closure. It's not difficult to work out who it is. The boss's second son, considered by his father too soft to join the family business, was out to prove he wasn't soft at all.

It's a dangerous scenario. The message left in the office places a target squarely on Sandie's back. If she doesn't implicate him before he takes the ultimate revenge, lives will be at risk. She's all too aware that someone out to prove he's got what it takes, when in reality he hasn't, makes him the worst kind of loose cannon.

The old feelings have returned with a vengeance. When it's a family matter, sometimes it works both ways…
