A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Roberta Kray’s first novel was published to universal acclaim: ‘You might expect a crime novel written by the widow of Reggie Kray would be tough … it is. Recommend this to fans of Ian Rankin and Ken Bruen’ (Booklist). In this third novel, there’s more from the dangerous and unpredictable underworld she knows so well. Private eye Harry Lind doesn’t believe in ghosts. Little Grace Harper went missing over twenty years ago, and missing girls can’t just reappear – or can they? It takes a brutal murder to make him think again. Reporter Jess Vaughan is convinced that Grace is still alive but she’s going to need some help to prove it. As she and Harry begin to unravel an age-old web of deceit and betrayal their discoveries soon put them on a collision course with one of London’s most notorious gangsters. The search for the truth is about to lead them into a world where people will kill to preserve their secrets."* 'Praise for Roberta Kray's Previous Novels Well into Martina Cole territory, Roberta Kray's first novel gets under the skin of the London underworld with no problem' - Mark Timlin, Independent * 'Action, intrigue and a character-driven plot are delivered in well-written style, sure to please any crime fiction fans.' - Woman * 'You might expect a crime novel written by the widow of Reg Kray would be tough... and it is. Recommend this to fans of Ian Rankin.' - Booklist * 'The Debt convinces on every page - not only about the gangster world but also as a portrait of a woman whose life has been changed by forces beyond her control.' - Chicago Tribune"
