Synopsis

THE CARTER WOMEN DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES: THEY MAKE THEM.

The brilliant new gangland thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of DIAMOND.

Gangster Max Carter and his ex-wife Annie Carter are leading separate lives in separate countries: past hurts and broken promises cannot be resolved. But then a summons to Majorca and a tragic death makes Max question all that has happened to him over many years.

He had two brothers - both are now dead. His closest friend has been found hanging from a London bridge. As the police wrestle with a seemingly unsolvable case, Max is forced to revisit his painful past to find answers to a mystery that seems to make no sense at all. Who is targeting his family and why?

Annie Carter is at a crossroads in life. She has a luxurious lifestyle but no one to share it with, and Max clearly thinks she is in danger too. Her daughter, Layla, has left her mafia lover Alberto Barolli and is back in London, stumbling into the police investigation and making waves. You should never go back, so the old saying goes. But then, the Carter women don't follow the rules, they make them.

And when the truth of what's been happening is finally revealed, will the Carter family stand together - or will it finish them for good?

Reviews

I normally love this authors books but unfortunately although i really didn’t enjoy this book. It started off well but about half way through I found myself easily distracted. The plot wasn’t original, and the main characters seemed to have lost their spark.......more
