Description


Two kids are murdered and their gangland family wants revenge, in this violent, gritty thriller from a distinctive new voice in urban noir

 

Two 10-year-old twin sisters are murdered outside their school—but they aren't just any kids, they are the daughters of gangster Stanley Lewis. When a rival gangster is arrested, Stanley vows to take revenge; but his dad, feared villain Kenny Lewis, thinks there's more going on. Kenny contacts the one group of people who he trusts to help him find the truth: Jackie, Anna, Roxy, and Ollie are four women with shady pasts who take the cases people don't take to the cops. They enter a world of easy sex and even easier violence where everyone, including the Lewis family, is hiding secrets.

Praise for Hit Girls…


"Mitchell’s plot is elaborate but tightly played, with a back beat of racial abuse. Killer Tune lays the breezy musical name-checking of Hornby's High Fidelity over a well-crafted murder mystery."  —Financial Times on Killer Tune

"As good as it gets."  —Lee Child, author, Gone Tomorrow, on Gangster Girl
