Wrong Move: Carrie Verne series Book 5

A gripping gangland thriller from bestselling author Kerry Barnes. Perfect for fans of Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers. You’ve met the Murphy brothers. Now meet the sister. . . Nellie Murphy wants out of her family’s shadow – and an empire of her own.

So when smooth-talking ex-con Radley Barratt offers her fast money and a chance to finally become someone, she takes it.

But Radley isn’t what he seems.

He’s married to Lisa, who runs a brothel and believes his promises of a fresh start.

But he lied. . .

He’s playing his own game – with Kenny Ruck and a ruthless crew of Russians. Then came the wildcard – a reckless woman with a score to settle.

Turning her back on her family, Nellie is in too deep.

If she wants to survive, she’ll have to think like a Murphy and fight with everything she’s got. Because when you’re a Murphy, you don’t die.

But in a world built on secrets, betrayal, and revenge, nothing is ever as it seems. One wrong move can cost you everything.

Power has a price – and Nellie is about to pay it.
