Kerry Barnes writes hard-edged British crime fiction centered on gangland families and the violence that comes with the territory. Her Ruthless series, which launched her career in 2016 with seven books, established her voice: fast-paced, unflinching, and focused on the internal politics of criminal organizations.
She has since expanded into multiple series including the Hunted trilogy, the Cruel Secrets books, the Harper Kane novels, and the Georgie Deacon and Carrie Verne series. Each follows different characters through the overlapping worlds of organized crime, loyalty, and betrayal.
