Synopsis

'Gripping and gritty, this book will keep you hooked from the first page to the last' Roberta Kray

'The Leeds setting is every bit as gritty as Kray's East End . . . hard as nails!' Peterborough Telegraph

Four months have passed since the shocking death of Frankie Greenwood, but Liberty Greenwood has managed to keep the rest of her family safe and expand their criminal empire.

But when Liberty and Jay set out to teach a protection racketeer a lesson things get out of hand and the Greenwoods soon find themselves under attack: the Black Cherry is fire bombed and Crystal is arrested.

Liberty must hold her nerve, make alliances with old enemies and discover exactly who is trying to destroy her. But that's easier said than done with Sol back on the scene, Crystal's baby to care for and DI Angel holding enough information on Liberty to put her away for good. Is Liberty Greenwood hard enough?

You’d think that any book that starts with the main character getting shot in the head on the first page would be the shortest novel in history. But Joe Kurtz is one tough bastard, and it’ll take more than a puny bullet to the skull to keep him down for long. Ex-convict and former private investigato......more

Goodreads review by Will on February 16, 2025

Joe Kurtz is truly ‘hard as nails’! The final instalment in the Joe Kurtz trilogy meets expectations set up from the first two books, which keeps you engaged throughout but leaves you waiting for the next twist. This is both a positive and negative for me, as whilst I was eager to see what happens ne......more

Goodreads review by Dan on January 13, 2022

A fitting end to a remarkably consistent series. As usual, this book is delightfully (and very intentionality) over the top. It gets borderline ridiculous in a few instances, but that’s part of the fun! Simmons is well aware of what he’s doing in these Kurtz books. Subtlety is not the name of the ga......more
