"After losing her mum in a tragic accident when she was young, Chrissy Moss had to find out the hard way how to survive on one of the East End's most notorious estates. When a fifteen-year-old girl disappears, hours after delivering a message for local gangland lowlife Eddie, the residents take the law into their own hands, forcing old secrets to resurface.... With rumours flying - not just about the girl's disappearance, but about Laura Moss's death years earlier - Chrissy begins to suspect what happened to her mother was no accident: it was murder. But people on the estate are too scared to talk, and to find answers Chrissy must unravel an age-old web of deceit that runs right into the heart of London's East End... Chrissy's search leads her to shady club owner Luther Byrne, rumoured to have once been one of London's most notorious gangsters, and one of the last people to see her mother alive. But as Chrissy grows nearer to the truth, she unwittingly inches closer and closer to danger. Could it be that Chrissy, like her mother, put her trust in the wrong person?"--Publisher.
