Martina Cole’s utterly compelling novels head straight to No. 1 on the Sunday Times bestseller lists. Her most recent, THE GRAFT, topped the hardback charts for a record-breaking ten weeks

Martina tells it like it really is, and her unique, honest and compassionate style shines through in her latest novel. Jackie Jackson is preparing a party to welcome home her husband Freddie. Everyone is gathered at the party, including her sister Maggie. But after six years in prison, Freddie thinks he is the Essex equivalent to the Godfather. And he’s going to make sure everyone knows it.
