Enredo

Susan and her family have moved to India for her husband's posting whilst Alice, though acquitted of murder, finds work impossible to obtain. Also unemployed Millie runs a nice line in selling black market goods but is abducted and her flat ransacked - though she has hidden wads of her cash in her cooker. Alice, Jean and Lucy look for Millie's business associate Jasper but he has vanished and they surmise that he has fled after cheating his bosses. The women learn that these are the Maltese Magros family, headed by the formidable Marta and they are looking for money appropriated by Jasper. Marta lets Millie go on condition she turns a hefty profit for her but the other women want Millie to turn her back on the whole affair. Millie however is concerned that the Magros are bringing in young Czech girls as sex slaves and wants to stop them. Then they find that Jasper has been murdered.—don @ minifie-1

Now released from prison, Alice Merren finds that, despite being cleared of all charges, her notoriety is proving to be a bar to finding employment. Millie invites her out for drinks and learns that she's supplying black market goods - perfumes, stockings and the like - to friends. When Millie returns home, someone is waiting for her. When Alice goes to Millie's flat the next day, she finds the place ransacked and no sign of her friend. The police don't seem very interested and so with Jean and Lucy tries to find her. They first look for Millie's business colleague Jasper who they learn may have been involved with Maltese mobsters. Millie meanwhile awakens in a locked room and learns that Jasper has been cheating his partners. She manages to get out by promising to do more business with them than Jasper ever could but what concerns her most is that the gang is obviously importing women and forcing them into the sex trade.—garykmcd
