Meet disgraced ex-DI Ellie Reckless, a self-proclaimed 'cop for criminals', and the person the underworld calls when they can't call the police.

For months now, she's built up a series of favours, all so she can set them off like dominos - proving that Nicky Simpson, YouTube sensation and wannabe gangster, was the man who destroyed her life - and killed the man she loved. And in return, Nicky has watched her carefully, waiting to see whether she's too much of a threat to keep alive.

But when Nicky's life is threatened, he's forced to turn to Ellie and her team for help; his cost? A favour, freely given, in turn for Ellie and Tinker Jones becoming his personal bodyguards, while the others in her group hunt the threat down - and remove it.

Now in close contact with the man she hates more than anything in the world, Ellie's caught in a dilemma - if she fails, all her troubles go away, but she'll never prove her innocence.But if she succeeds, the one favour he has to give her as payment could provide her with every answer she needs to end her nightmare.

But what happens when the unthinkable happens - and she starts to doubt that Nicky Simpson is the man she's been hunting all this time?
