She never forgot, and she'll never forgive . . .
In 1941, mixed race Ruby Darke is born into a family that seem to hate her, but why?

Not really my regular cup of tea, I gave this book a go because of the good reviews. I was not disappointed. The characters were all given due page time and all questions were answered resulting in a complete ending. This book ticked all the boxes for me. Will definitely look this author up again.

About the author
Jessie Keane was born rich. Then the family business went bust and she was left poor and struggling in dead end jobs, so she knows both ends of the spectrum and tells it straight. Her fascination with London and the underworld led her to write the No.1 bestseller Dirty Game, followed by bestsellers Black Widow, Scarlet Women, Jail Bird, The Make and Playing Dead. Nameless is followed by the thrilling sequel, Lawless. She now lives in Hampshire.
