About this ebook
The queen of urban crime is back with a shocking, brilliant new series – The Working Girls
When everyone is on the make, it's hard to tell who's fooling who...
A TRIP TO THE DARK SIDE
When respected journalist, Maddy, goes to interview prostitutes in a rundown Manchester pub, she doesn't reckon on attracting the attention of their ruthless pimp, Gilly. He quickly decides to use Maddy for his own gains; he just needs to work out how.
A TOXIC AFFAIR
In the weeks that follow, Maddy is oblivious to Gilly's growing obsession with her, particularly when she begins a romance with successful businessman, Aaron. Their passionate love affair starts to dominate her life, and she finds herself losing control and alienating the people around her.
A TARGET ON HER BACK
As Maddy's safe and successful life starts to crumble around her, she must quickly work out who has it in for her, before it's too late...
Heather Burnside is back with this breath-taking, heart-racing new series, perfect for all fans of Kimberley Chambers and Martina Cole.
