Frankie - Kevin Lewis

Synopsis
Homeless, streetwise and running away from a past she would rather forget, Francesca Mills is just another face on the streets of London. When a violent encounter leads to a man’s death, however, she is forced to leave the harsh world that has become her home and forge a new life elsewhere.
On the run, Frankie unknowingly stumbles across a dangerous secret, a secret so powerful that men will stop at nothing to protect it. She tries to build a new life, but you can only stay anonymous when no one wants to find you. Hunted by both the police and shadowy assailants with powerful connections, the odds are stacked against a woman who will do whatever it takes to protect herself – and those who mean most to her…
I was pleasantly surprised to find that Kevin Lewis do write fiction books because books I came across from him are usually about his abused childhood.
I read his " The Kid Moves On" sometime back in 2008 and it was quite a sad story.
Needless to say, I was expecting some abused story in this book as well, which came up as part of the story of the female lead, Francesca Mills. Its not much and just bits and pieces here and there to explain why Francesca ran away from home, simply because her step-dad abused her.
This is quite a nice book, nothing too heavy. Because of this book, I have decided to read more from this author.
