Polly Courtney Reihenfolge der Bücher

Growing up on a south London estate and excluded from every school that would take her, Alesha is the poster girl for the nation's 'feral youth'. When a young teacher makes an unexpected reappearance in the 15-year-old's life, opening the door to a world of salaries, pianos and middle-class housemates, Alesha's instinct is to pull up her hood and return to the streets. But fuelled by a need to survive, she falls into a cycle of crime, violence and drug-dealing, her one true ally deserting her when she needs him most. While everyone around her is rallying against the authorities in a war of haves and have-nots, Alesha finds herself caught in the crossfire, inextricably linked to the people she is trying to fight against. Can she see a way out? And as riots sweep the nation, whose side will she take?

Life on the all-male editorial team proves harder than Alexa, the new editor of lads' mag, Banter, had imagined - and not just because of her ambitious targets.

Can you walk away from your own life? It's 4am, London and a young woman comes to amidst sirens and screams - the result of a bomb that has left utter carnage in its wake. Wearing the remains of a tattered black dress and wrapped in a filthy blanket, she is utterly unaware of where - and more importantly - who she is.

Eine Frau unter Männern! Um drei Uhr morgens mit dem Taxi zur Arbeit? Keine Seltenheit für Abigail. Eigentlich hatte man der Londoner Analystin bei der Investmentbank Gray McKinley das Blaue vom Himmel versprochen. Ihre Arbeit besteht meistens jedoch in der Erstellung sinnloser PowerPoint-Präsentationen. Reine Schikane. Karriere in Blond und Hübsch ist wohl nichts, egal, wie klug sie ist. Anders bei ihrem Kollegen Mike, der viel zu gut aussieht, um wirklich etwas zu können, der aber gerade attraktiv genug ist, um sich in ihn zu verlieben. Frauen und das große Geld: der sensationelle Enthüllungsroman aus England.
