Author(s): Martina Cole

CRIME

Highly acclaimed for her hard-hitting, uncompromising and compelling writing, Martina Cole is the only author who dares to tell it like it is. After the recent runaway success of The Take, Martina's new novel, Close, is the story of the women who are left behind. Set in London's dark and violent gangland, this novel tells the tale of a gutsy mother and her two sons, and their lives in and out of jail. With her characteristically haunting writing and visceral subject matter, Martina Cole, has written yet another compulsive bestseller.
