Never Go Back: an utterly gripping gangland crime thriller from the bestselling author for 2023

Product Information

I enjoyed the short chapters, and the fast pace of the plot and was hooked into the writing from Page 1. Dad would say, hoisting himself out of his chair long enough to raise a threatening hand to his eldest.

She’d be all dolled up, her hair in a fancy chignon, her tea dress tight around her waist, hugging her curves. Jessie's stand-alone novels include Jail Bird, The Make, Dangerous, Fearless, The Knock and The Manor . But Queenie hides a secret – after a brief fling in her forties, she gave birth to Bruno, abandoning him to the care system, though unknown to her, he is brought up by her sister Nora. The narrative raced along, introducing us to all the main players and fleshing out their lives as they clawed and fought and sometimes killed their way out of poverty.

Never Go Back is the glamorous and gritty new gangland thriller from acclaimed bestseller Jessie Keane. You could imagine Jonjo running to fat in his middle years; his sheer size meant that he found it easy to intimidate smaller, weaker boys – like Eddie, who was almost girlish in his fragility. Her daughter, Layla, has left her mafia lover Alberto Barolli and is back in London, stumbling into the police investigation and making waves. Without Max’s prompting and much to his astonishment, she then gave up the job at The Grapes and sat about looking dismal.

He was altogether too bright and too wary of managers and promoters, too concerned about ending up punch-drunk and addled like so many did in that business.

He’s so bloody scrawny, he’ll get knocked to fuck,’ said his dad, laughing, relishing the idea of the pushy little sod getting a pasting. Keane weaves themes of family ties, betrayal, revenge, and divided loyalties throughout to pack a real emotional punch amongst all the action, and there is a lovely poignant kick to the conclusion of the story that I was not expecting.
