Summary
A young girl walked down familiar streets, careful not to scuff her shiny, new shoes on the cobblestones. Her thoughts were on the night ahead, jiving to the latest hits with other people her age at the dance. She wouldn’t make it there, and her name would become synonymous with one of the most notorious crime sprees in British history… (Part 1 of 6).
