"No good deed goes unpunished. That's what Charlie Fox discovers when she agrees to dog-sit for a friend, only to find that the friend's housing estate is being terrorised by violent gangs. Desperate and frightened, the residents have hired a freelance "security" firm, whose bully-boy tactics aren't a whole lot more appealing. With her motorbike on hand and a big dog by her side, Charlie is more than able to take care of herself, until a ghost from her Army past comes calling. Someone she was trying very hard to forget. To save the locals of the Lavender Garden estate -- not to mention her own skin -- Charlie's going to have to learn to trust somebody. And that's going to be a tough lesson. Trust has never been her strong suit."--Page 4 of cover.
