No one thinks a seventeen-year-old girl can take on the hard men of London's gangland, but it's a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan. She's tough, clever and beautiful and determined not to be hurt again. Which makes her one very dangerous lady.

Fantastic.
This book delves into the gang ridden underbelly of British society. Grittingly realistic, it follows one family who build from poverty to establish themselves as one of the most prominant gangs in London. Set in an era when the lifestyles followed by the family were rife throughout large portions of England, the book captures the internal struggles within and gives insight into the different minds at work behind gang warfare. A topic that would have been easy to over dramatise and even easier to glorify is treated with care, graphically detailing the torture and psychological problems born out of such a lifestyle.
A wonderful read, gripping from the start and never letting up in intensity throughout. This is a must read for anyone into crime novel, or gritty realism.
Look forward to reading the sequel.

I loved this book, to be truthful, I own it in paperback but wanted to read it on my kindle (to allow me to go to bed etc) and so bought it for my kindle. It is a very well written book and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all the books in which Maura Ryan or Michael Ryan feature. I would recommened Martina Cole books to anyone that loves reading about the gangland style era. It is a very good read.
