About Harm
A London-based female assassin runs into trouble on a mission in 1970s Mexico in this action-packed debut crime thriller. Acapulco 1974: Rina Walker is on assignment. Just another quick, clean kill. When she wakes to discover her employer's severed head on her bedside table, and a man with an AK 47 coming through the door of her hotel room, she must use all her skills to neutralise her attacker and escape. Notting Hill 1956: Fifteen-year-old Rina is scavenging and stealing to support her siblings and her alcoholic mother. When a local gangster attacks her younger sister, Rina wreaks revenge. Innocence betrayed, Rina faces the brutality of the post-war London underworld—a world that teaches her the skill to kill . . . Praise for Harm "Hugh Fraser's Harm is the perfect combination of action, mystery and intrigue. It also features some superbly constructed characters, who develop over the course of the story—which is a rarity in mystery novels." —Benjamin Maio Mackay, actor "Go and buy it quick. It is very filmic and very taut.... This book will do you HARM because you won't want to do anything else but sit down and get to the next bit fast. Fabulous." —Celia Imrie, actress, Bridget Jones' Diary, Calendar Girls, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
