About The Book
Fifteen-year-old Jade Flynn and three other girls were the sole occupants of the fourth floor of St Nicholas Care Home for Children. They were forced to take part in ‘special community projects’ – drug dealing, money laundering, gun running. Required to work for a man they called The Geezer. Until a shocking event made them rebel. Steal something that wasn’t theirs.
So they ran. Disappeared.
10 YEARS LATER . . .
Jade Flynn is now living a respectable life as Jackie Jarvis and is getting married. She invites her three best friends to be her maids of honour. But someone else turns up as well – The Geezer. He’ll kill them, unless they do one last job for him, then they can return to their normal lives. But can they trust him?
This time if they disappear they won’t be coming back . . .
