Book description
It is 1962 and Daisy Lane, whose husband Kenny is in jail for robbery,
runs and lives over the family's cafe in Gosport with Kenny's older
brother Eddie. Daisy looks out for pretty, vulnerable, 16-year-old Suze,
who works in the cafe and, along with prostitute Vera, who also shares
the house, the women form a strong and lasting bond. The Lane brothers
suffered a violent childhood, but Eddie took the brunt of the beatings.
He has grown into a handsome, resourceful villain with a streak of
viciousness that leads him to commit acts of terrifying violence to get
his way - and Daisy prefers not to know the details of Eddie's
'business' dealings. But hard man Eddie has an Achilles heel - Daisy.
She resists him, but when her visits to Kenny in jail become more and
more difficult, it is Eddie she turns to for support. Then Eddie pulls a
racket too far, venturing on the patch of a villain who is even harder
and more territorial than he is. And Daisy discovers the hard way to
trust nobody - especially not the man you love...
