'Roberta Kray really is the queen of crime writing!' 5-star Reader Review

Some secrets are worth killing for.

Julia left London years ago, but now she's back - and so are the ghosts of her past. Angel Glover was her childhood best friend until the day everything changed.

Now Angel is dead, and Julia is certain it wasn't just some tragic accident.

Determined to uncover the truth, she starts asking questions. But the Mansfield estate hasn't changed. The same faces are there - Tom, Lindsey, Pauline, Frankie - the ones she and Angel used to roll with. And they know more than they're letting on.

The deeper Julia digs, the more the warnings come. Even Inspector Vyse tells her to tread carefully. But Julia's not going anywhere. She owes Angel that much.

And on these streets, loyalty is a dangerous thing - because some secrets are worth killing for...
