When betrayal hits hard, revenge is the only option…

Female boss of one of London’s most dangerous crime firms, Maria Capello has to work twice as hard as any man to prove her mettle. She’s used to rival gangs assuming her brother, Alex, is the strongest one in the family, but when the Capellos encounter their most deadly enemy yet, it’s Maria who leads the charge and comes out fighting.

When police target another London firm, Maria knows it won’t be long before they’re at her door. She’ll stop at nothing to keep her family and her business safe from the law. But when a sworn enemy claims to have information, she listens in horror to the shocking news: the Capellos have been betrayed by one of their own, and the police are coming…

Maria knows that someone she loves has betrayed her and left her in an impossible bind. Should she take down one of her own, or risk everything she’s built and fought for being burned to the ground? Can she find the traitor in her organisation before it’s too late? And can she bring herself to take them out before the police destroy the Capello firm for good?

If you love gangland fiction from authors like Martina Cole, Jacqui Rose and Kimberley Chambers then you will be completely hooked by this gritty and gripping new crime thriller from Emma Tallon.
