Annie Carter is backā¦
She was a madam in a brothel and a gangsterās moll, but now her protection is gone and her enemies are closing in.
1971, London gang boss Annie Carter Barolli is living the New York high life with the feared mafia godfather Constantine Barolli. Then family tragedy strikes, leaving only Annie, Constantineās sister Gina and his three children alive, and now theyāre in terrible danger. And whatās worse ā it signals a major shift in mafia power.
Annie returns to London with her daughter Layla, pursued by a hit man. Someone wants her dead and the only way she can stay alive is to find out whoās paying for the contract and to strike first.
Then, the reappearance of an old East End face sparks a shocking suspicion ā the possibility that Max Carter, Annieās first and greatest love, didnāt die two years ago, as she had been led to believe.
Has he truly just been playing dead?
