About this listen

Gangland was a man's world—but the women knew different

London, 1946.

Alice Diamond, the Queen of the Forty Thieves, rules over her gang of hoisters with a bejewelled fist. Nell is a slum girl from Waterloo, hiding a secret pregnancy and facing a desperately uncertain future.

Sensing an opportunity to exploit Nell's vulnerabilities, Alice takes her under her wing, and before long, Nell is experiencing the secret world of hoisting, with all the dangers—and glamorous trappings—that comes with this underworld existence.

Alice has a longstanding feud with Billy Sullivan's all-male gang in Soho and thinks Nell could be a useful weapon in her vendetta. But Nell has a secret agenda of her own and is not to be underestimated. And the more she is exploited by both Alice and Billy, the more her hunger for revenge grows. As she embraces the seedy underbelly of London, will she prevail in carving out her own path to power and riches...and crown herself the Queen of Thieves?

From Sunday Times best-selling author Beezy Marsh comes a thrilling new crime saga series, perfect for fans of Sam Michaels, Martina Cole and Jessie Keane.

I loved this book, brilliantly written and narrated, it transports you the under belly of London in 1947 with humour, delving into the dirty depths of Soho.
The characters are complex and intriguing. I couldn't stop listening to it and made my long car journeys a pleasure.

A must listen

Couldn’t stop listening throughout. Really felt like I’d jumped back into 1940’s London. Lots of strong female characters done well too. Would recommend highly.

Gripping!

It sounded like Pat Butcher narrated this dark grisly depressing book It was dark with no shade apart from the ridiculous woman who decided her deadbeat boyfriend who abdonded her in Holloway pregnant was really a good guy Totally ridiculous and no disrespect to Pat Butcher but the narration was appalling

Awful crude story
