Jessica Stirling was born in Glasgow and still lives in Scotland. Her previous novels include Prized Possessions, which first introduced the Conways, and The Piper's Tune.
As the wife of Glasgow gangster Dominic Manone, Polly appears to have everything a woman could want--an attentive husband, two adorable children, and an endless supply of cash. But Polly longs for the knowledge and power that Dominic has and hopes that someday he'll trust her enough to help run the family business because her two sisters, Babs and Rosie, depend on her. With her car-dealer husband and a brood of kids, Babs envies Polly and encourages her to nose her way into the Manone business. Rosie, who works in a bookstore and refuses to let her deafness rule her life, becomes involved with Detective MacGregor, who is secretly determined to bring Dominic down. But as World War II approaches, Dominic takes on a dangerous new business, and Polly must draw on a strength she never knew she had to save her family and herself. Stirling perfectly captures the anxiety and despair of Scotland prior to WWII in this marvelously suspenseful tale full of wartime intrigue, captivating characters, and unforeseen plot twists.
