your life.'A riveting read full of tension and suspense with a
vivid cast of characters and an enticing plot.' Heather
BurnsideDetective Constable Bailey Morgan has been out of the
undercover game since her last job went horribly wrong, leaving her
with scars inside and out. When her colleague Alice is found dead
whilst working deep cover in a women's prison, Bailey steps in to
replace her. Working alone, Bailey embarks on a dangerous journey
through the murky underbelly of the prison and soon discovers that
Alice's death was part of a spate of brutal murders. Surrounded by
prison officers, criminals and lowlifes, the slightest mistake
could cost Bailey her life. Heart-stopping and gripping. Perfect

New Black and Bad Girls. What readers are saying about Jailbird:

Through analysis of data held by the National Crime Agency on
organised crime groups, and in-depth analysis of qualitative
interviews with convicted fraudsters and enforcement professionals,
this detailed study fills a significant gap in the contemporary
literature on organised crime groups involved in fraud. Throughout
the chapters, the perspective of convicted offenders and those
involved in its policing are juxtaposed to show the ease of
committing fraud from the perspective of offenders on the one hand,
and the investigative challenges experienced by law enforcement
officers on the other. May and Bhardwa's insights shed light on
offender motivations, routes into fraud and organised crime, and
the nature and shape of organised crime groups and their
operations. Alongside the offender perspective the law enforcement
interviews provide a unique interpretation of the procedural and
legislative weaknesses that appear to allow this type of offender
to make considerable financial gain. The key recommendations based
on empirical findings will greatly benefit those interested in
understanding the links between fraud and organised crime in the UK
and those seeking to improve enforcement efforts.
