Tatiana Goodwin has finally begun to piece her life back together after the events of the past year. Having taken over her late husband Rich''s empire, Tatty has put together a massive deal to capitalise on his dirty dealings - and hopefully extricate herself from a life of crime she''d been unwillingly drawn into.

But following a suspicious fire in the firm''s new HQ, and a number of unexplained deaths in the town, it soon becomes clear that there''s more than one person who''s after the Goodwin family assets. With her daughter in a rocky relationship and her teenage son Zach beginning to follow in the footsteps of his gangster father, everything is getting a little too close to home for Tatty''s liking . . .

As the family is pulled further into the criminal underworld she sought to protect them from, Tatty has some difficult decisions to make - before her enemies make them for her.

''Things are hotting up . . . But the book offers more than just crime: the characterisation is strong and the relationships between the various family members and their associates and enemies skilfully depicted. A particular treat for anyone familiar with Yarmouth'' East Anglian Daily Times

''Brett''s knuckleduster-hard story goes behind the tawdry neon of the day-tripper strip. A promising series . . . Fans of Martina Cole will look forward to this'' Peterborough Today
