Synopsis
Janey Hallahan was born into the criminal life. After the death of her father, she became head of the family business – every day making dark decisions that make her family firm richer, no matter how dangerous.
While Janey rules gangland with an iron fist, she always sticks to her own code of honour, and the innocent never get hurt.
One of her workers, Danny McInroy runs an exclusive club in Glasgow – the kind of place where the ultra-wealthy can fulfil their darkest desires, for a hefty cost. He’s good at his job, but his arrogance and propensity to violence makes him a liability. But when Janey discovers that he’s linked to the disappearance of two women, it’s time to take revenge.
Because no one messes with Janey, or her empire… and as gangland is about to learn, a powerful woman will stop at nothing to protect her reputation.
Review
Janey is fantastically paced with a real sense of menace as we delve into the darker side of humanity. It pulls you in from the get go and fully immerses us in the gritty criminal underworld of Glasgow. As the fight for power and control plays out the Hallahan rule is enforced with an iron fist – cue an addictively good read!
Kane’s crafted an impressive female protagonist in Janey. She’s a strong leader, to be underestimated at your own peril! She fiercely defends her empire and will do whatever it takes to ensure that the Hallahan code of conduct is upheld. I loved that’s she’s fully realised, her cut-throat nature is contrasted with the more caring, vulnerable side we see. Ciaran is her rock of support and their relationship works perfectly, I’m hoping it’s not the last we’ll be seeing of these two!
As Danny takes over the running of his Dad’s businesses he objects to having to answer to Janey. He’s unpredictable, arrogant and heartless. He manipulates those closest to him for his own gain and the more damage he inflicts the more untouchable he seems. Kane creates a truly sinister and disturbing character to root against!
Three women with different stories end up in his evil clutches. Lucy’s running from her past, Christine is alone and grieving, and Shannon is missing. It’s a gripping read as we unravel their interconnecting threads skilfully woven together revealing some shocking truths!
The building tension is palpable as the chapters brilliantly explore loyalty, pride, anger and the danger these can bring. The ripple effects can be felt sending shockwaves through the pages and the unexpected twists propel the reader deeper into the unknown.
Don’t hesitate to pick this one up if you enjoy a thrilling page-turner, you will not be disappointed!
Perfect for fans of Jessie Keane, Kimberly Chambers and Heather Burnside.
