Set in London and Essex THE INFORMANT is a story of ruthless criminals, corrupt cops, obsessive love and the villainy that operates on both sides of the law.

KAZ
As a drug-fuelled teenage tearaway, Kaz Phelps took the rap for her little brother Joey over a bungled armed robbery and went to jail. Six years later she’s released on licence. Clean and sober, and driven by a secret passion for her lawyer, Helen, Kaz wants to escape the violence and abuse of her Essex gangster family.

JOEY
Joey is a charming, calculating psychopath with the face of an angel and the mind of a killer. Joey worships the ground Kaz walks on and he’s desperate to get her back in the family firm. All Kaz wants is a fresh start and to put the past behind her.

NICCI
When Joey murders an undercover cop, DS Nicci Armstrong is determined to put him behind bars. But what she discovers exposes the Met at the highest level.

“The Informant was a fantastic read and all I can say is I want more—more Kaz, more Nicci and more of Susan Wilkins’ writing. Luckily for me, the next book The Mourner will be out next spring. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a good crime read, I recommend you pick up The Informant.” – afantasticlibrarian.com
