Dangerous to Know

A new, dark and shockingly funny thriller that you won’t be able to put down




The gripping, sensational beach read of the summer. Can you live a happily-ever-after if you stole it from someone else?

Once, serial killer Alvie Knightly was living the dream. Unlimited cash. An Italian getaway. A hot new boyfriend...

How the mighty fall.

One year - and one unfortunate incident with a shotgun - later, Alvie is living in a London hostel, living off meal deals and counting her dwindling pennies.

So far, she's kept her head down. But when a cop shows up at her home, Alvie freaks out.

It's time for action, and if anyone can pull off one last hit - in six inch heels - it's Alvie. But if she's to succeed in her mission to avenge her ex, win back her money and secure her future, she'll have to face her most terrifying enemy yet: her past.
