The only thing more dangerous than a Shelby with a gun is a Shelby in love.
Nell Shelby is a name spoken in whispers. She is the "Iron Princess" of the Small Heath, a woman with the calculating mind of Tommy and the defiant heart of Ada. She doesn't scream to be heard, and she doesn't use a gun when a single, well-placed word could do more damage. She is the Shelby's most lethal asset: the negotiator who never blinks.
When the power struggle for London reaches a fever pitch, Tommy Shelby makes a calculated move. He sends Nell to Camden Town to oversee the distillery of the one man he can't control. The brilliant, erratic, and utterly mad Alfie Solomons.
Tommy's instructions were simple: Watch him. Report back. Don't let him breathe.
But behind the locked doors of the distillery, the cold war between the Lion and the Shelby turns into something far more dangerous. In the moments between business deals, Alfie finds the fire beneath Nell's silk dresses, and Nell finds the only man alive who is brilliant enough to keep her interested.
