Driven book by Andrea Badenoch

On a hot city night, Jaz is celebrating her twenty-first birthday with her friends Trace and Harm. Across town her boyfriend, Fat Andy, is lying dead on their bed, his throat savagely cut. Jaz is convinced that the murder was down to Vinny, a crooked car dealer for whom Fat Andy worked. And she's not prepared to let him get away with it . . . But nothing is altogether as it seems. For Fat Andy had secrets to hide, and a background more complicated than anything Jaz imagined. Beyond the familiar world of car crime, petty rivalries and dirty dealing, there are even more sinister forces at work . . . and bigger stakes than she's ever played with before.
