If you're married to a murderer, you'd better plan his demise stealthily.

When her brother causes the death of one of the Brady family, well-known south-east London villains, Kate finds herself forced into a marriage with the eldest Brady son to pay the debt.

Despite knowing how violent he is, Kate’s friend, Janey, helps her plot revenge, the seduction and then destruction of Kate’s husband. It is a dangerous game to play, as the Brady family is a powerful London crime family with both money and influence, and very few morals. But it is Kate’s fascination with the seedier side of London life, and her friendship with another of London’s villains, a rival to the Brady family, that introduces complications neither of them saw coming. Just who is playing whom?
