Overview
This three-book paperback collection gathers Jessie Keane's dark, atmospheric crime fiction for readers who love strong women navigating dangerous worlds. Diamond travels to 1920s Paris, where a young woman fleeing a brutal London gangland family reinvents herself as an artist's model. Never Go Back reunites Max and Annie Carter as an old tragedy in Majorca forces buried secrets to the surface. Dead Heat brings the collection into the present day, where a birthday party unravels a South Downs marriage and exposes a killer. Together, the set offers gritty, twisty storytelling.
About the Books
Jessie Keane has built a reputation for gritty, immersive crime fiction centered on fierce, resourceful women caught in the underworld's grip, and this collection captures that range across three standalone stories. Diamond opens in the early twentieth century, following a woman who escapes a controlling gangland family in London by reinventing herself as Diamond Dupree, an artist's model in Paris, only to discover that the City of Light hides dangers of its own. Never Go Back catches up with Max and Annie Carter, whose long history together is complicated by old wounds, family loyalty, and a summons to Majorca that reopens the past after a shocking death. Dead Heat shifts to a contemporary setting, where Christie Doyle's seemingly perfect life on the South Downs collapses when her husband's affair comes to light at her own birthday celebration, and a police investigation exposes just how far the people around her are willing to go. Each novel stands entirely on its own, but together they demonstrate Keane's skill at blending atmosphere, tension, and morally complex characters across very different eras and settings. Readers who enjoy Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers, or the world of Peaky Blinders will find plenty to love in this trio of gritty, page-turning crime stories. This set is an excellent way to sample the full breadth of Keane's storytelling, from period gangland drama to slick modern suspense, in accessible paperback form.
