Dead Heat Description Diamond BEHIND EVERY STRONG WOMAN IS AN EPIC STORY… In the early years of the last century, a desperate young girl changes her name and flees the confines of her brutal, dominating gangland family in London. Now calling herself ‘Diamond Dupree’, she goes to Paris to become an artist’s model but the world there is different to what she had supposed it would be and she soon falls on hard times. When she manages to escape at the end of the First World War, she leaves behind her a mystery – and a dead man. Back home in London, she reluctantly re-joins the Soho family ‘firm’ she’d once been glad to leave behind. Having grown tougher during her time in Paris, she soon becomes a force to be reckoned with, a feared and respected gangland queen. But then she meets Richard Beaumont, the youngest son of a wealthy aristocratic family, and sparks fly. But can she escape the long arm of the law and the hangman’s noose, when the crimes of her past finally catch up with her? Never Go Back THE CARTER WOMEN DON’T FOLLOW THE RULES: THEY MAKE THEM. 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? Dead Heat Once, he loved her.

Worse is to come when the ‘other woman’- Lara, nineteen years old and pregnant with Kenny’s child – is found dead. Suspicion falls on Christie and the Doyles’ life is ripped apart as the police hunt for evidence: lead investigator DCI Dexter Cooper is a face from Christie’s own troubled past and he knows better than anyone what she is capable of. The race to unmask a killer is on…
