A thrilling story of love, jealousy, violence and revenge told in a no holds barred style that's definitely for adults only, 'Kat' takes the reader on an action-packed journey into the world of personal security and the underworld of assassination.
In the 1970's, three boys from the wrong side of Glasgow formed an unbreakable friendship. One little brother tagged along for the ride. Decades later, he and the only surviving Musketeer have the opportunity to set things right: to give a girl called Kat Farthing the chance of a better life.
A gifted martial artist and long-time carer to her debt-ridden, alcoholic mother, Kat's had to grow up fast. She got her first black belt at ten and her first job at eleven. She didn't have a lot of time for school. When she’s eighteen, she defends herself from a sexual predator and lands the chance of a better life… and a vicious, vindictive enemy who’ll stop at nothing to keep her down.
“Nail biting start to finish, honestly couldn’t put it down”
“If you like a strong female protagonist then this book is for you!”
“Such a great read.. an amazing story that keeps you wanting more. ADDICTIVE right until the end. Felt an array of emotions throughout.”
“Totally absorbing, real page turner.”
“… blood, guts, sex, love, betrayal, loyalty, honour and morals, all in a pacey package. This would be great on screen, can't wait for more”
