Some enemies refuse to die... She thought she'd seen the back of the Delanys. How wrong could she be...
Jessie Keane was born rich. Then the family business went bust and she was left poor and struggling in dead end jobs, so she knows both ends of the spectrum and tells it straight. Her fascination with London and the underworld led her to write the No.1 Heatseeker Dirty Game, followed by bestsellers Black Widow, Scarlet Women, Jail Bird, The Make and Playing Dead. She now lives in Hampshire. You can reach Jessie on her website www.jessiekeane.com.
Gritty and powerful, Martina Cole fans will love this addictive
novel
*Closer*
The novel takes the reader on a journey from London, to New York,
and across to rural Ireland. What I especially loved about this
story was the way multiple story strands were woven together: a
coming-of-age story for Annie's daughter, Layla, and an explosive
battle of wills (and sexual tension) for Annie as she tries to keep
an uneasy truce with her ex-husband; all set within a deadly game
of cat and mouse with a determined killer driven by revenge.
Intriguing, suspenseful and thrilling. A real page turner.

Gripping right from the start and the setting of gangsters and East
End London was great to read. I also really liked the character of
Annie Carter, she's a likeable, feisty main character who takes you
through her story at a high speed pace. This is a book full of
suspense and tension and I found myself surprised by the narrative
more than once. I'm now going to look out for the first Annie Cater
novels and have no doubt that I'll enjoy them just as much.

This is riveting, unputdownable reading
*Marjolein Books*
Jessie Keane has once again created a brilliant, gripping and
thrilling book which I didn't want to put down
*Best Crime Books*
I've read most of Jessie's book and so I was thrilled to be
contacted and offered a copy of her latest book Ruthless. Wow, what
a book.
*jayneanderson.blogspot.co.uk*
Ruthless is the latest in the fast-moving Annie Carter series and
is just as good, if not better, than its forerunners. If you like a
good, light read on the seedy side of life, you won't be
disappointed.
*Shropshire Star*
Part crime novel, part family-saga - a kind of Dynasty with
knuckledusters - but Ruthless is slick and funny and polished.
Sure, it's a formula, but Keane knows just what her readers want in
her nostalgic tales of gals and gangsters, nightclubs and toerags,
and she delivers the goods as nimbly as a cat across a fence top.
What I Liked: Annie's a businesswoman with a string of clubs to her
name, but it's affairs of the heart that propel the story. Keane's
antagonists want revenge against Annie by targeting the people she
loves the most - her family. It makes it very personal and very
nasty for Annie. And the return of her ex-husband - 'fit lean body,
black hair, dark tan' - makes the situation an emotional minefield.
If you're going to write a story, make sure your protagonist is hit
where it hurts the most.

I loved the characters, they were very realistic, believable and I
enjoyed their storylines. Annie Carter is a fantastic lead and I
really enjoyed reading about her, I liked that Annie was fierce and
determined. Also, Annie's relationship with Max was so fascinating
to read about, that in itself was very compelling and gripping.
Ruthless is fast-paced and thrilling with the right amount of
tension and suspense, so I was kept turning the pages keen to find
out how things would finish.
