In her fourteenth gangland thriller Martina Cole is just as gritty and gripping as in her previous novels. This story takes us from the violent streets of the seventies through to the present day, following fourteen year old Danny’s journey after his father leaves and how he moves in to the East End underworld and the effect it has on him and those around him. Strong women characters we have come to love in Martina’s books are ever present and the hard hitting story lines make this a draw for both male and female readers alike.
