Book description
A compulsive and entertaining story of women getting even . . . The
Sweeting family are well known in south-east London, and not for their
honesty. Jock is a professional armed robber and proud of it, and Kelly,
his daughter, takes after him. By the time she's 20, she is running the
family gang, organising their heists with unprecedented success and
audaciousness. In contrast, her sister Jackie yearns for a life of
respectability. To attain her dream she marries high-flying policeman
Raymond, only to discover that his middle-class background has its own
kind of hypocritical dishonesty. And Rosamund, Raymond's unsuspecting
sister, meets via the Sweetings the devious and irresistible Kevin Rice
- but how long will she last as the wife of a criminal constantly on the
run? When the men in their lives lie, cheat and betray them, Kelly,
Jackie and Ros decide that it will be for the last time. Their revenge
is both outrageous and apt as they plan to bring off the biggest heist
of the decade. And after the adventure of a lifetime is over, there will
be no more secrets, and no more lies . . . 'A blinding good read - go
for it!' Martina Cole
