Dubbed 'Queen of the Underworld', Jessie Keane is of Romany gypsy stock. She was born rich, in the back of her gran's barrel top wagon, and her family thrived until their firm crashed into bankruptcy and became poor. Her father died when she was a teenager and she fled to London to escape grim reality, finding there a lifelong fascination with the criminal underworld and the teeming life of the city.
Twice divorced and living in a freezing council flat, she decided to pursue her childhood aim to become a writer. She sold her wedding dress to buy a typewriter and penned her first Annie Carter book, Dirty Game.
This was followed by five more Annie Carter books, all Sunday Times bestsellers, then Ruby Darke arrived in Nameless, Lawless and The Edge. Jessie's stand-alone novels include Jail Bird, The Make, Dangerous, Fearless, The Knock and The Manor.
In modern London, a young woman finds herself on the wrong side of the law. The Knock is a gripping gangland thriller from the top ten bestselling author of Dead Heat, Jessie Keane.
Dora had a good start in life. But when she began mixing with the wrong company, her life went downhill. Fast.
Pregnant by her gangster lover, Dora found herself on the street – and falling into the grip of a bent copper, Donny Maguire. When her daughter Angel is born, Dora is already under the influence of drink and drugs.
Growing up in the shadow of this abusive relationship, Angel is nothing like her mother. But when violence turns to murder, she will be forced to grow up – as survival becomes the name of the game.
For some, being on the wrong side of the law is the safest place to be . . .
