Love your family. Hate your enemies. Know the Business.

Imelda Dooley is scared. She s played hard and fast and now she s been caught. She s pregnant and now she s on her own. Her father, not a man to mess with, will see that somebody pays for this. And it s not going to be her. So Imelda Dooley tells a lie. A lie that literally causes murders.

When Mary Dooley s husband is killed in the night s events, she knows she must graft to keep the family afloat. And graft she does, becoming a name in her own right. But she still has to watch her daughter s life spiral into a vicious, hate-fuelled cycle of drugs and prostitution.

Caught up in the carnage that is Imelda s existence are Mary s adored grandchildren, Jordanna and Kenny. Pretty little Jordanna isn t yet three and she already knows far too much. All she can do is look after her baby brother and try not to draw attention to herself.
