The Payment

NO ONE KNOWS CRIME LIKE KRAY

You think you know who I am. Five seconds is all it takes to sum me up and dismiss me. But a man needs company, and I want a woman who’s worth the effort. There’s no rush, though. I’m not going to make the same mistake twice. As I’ve found to my cost, bodies are hard to get rid of.

Ava Gold is working the late shift as a cabbie when she picks up a passenger, a young woman named Holly, who’s worse for wear. Not knowing where to drop her off, Ava ends up letting Holly crash at her place – but she will regret this act of kindness come the morning. Because opening her home up in this way sets Ava on a dangerous path. It’s a path that leads to missing women, murder and the one man she’s been trying to stay away from: local nightclub owner, Chris Street. And it also brings her to the attention of another man, a man no one is watching but who’s been watching Ava for a very long time . .
