Advantages: Very good read

Disadvantages: Very violent

This is another one of Martina Cole's excellent gripping novels. I have since watched the televised adaptation of the book and althought it was a good watch but the book is so much better.

This is another one of Martina's books that it set in the East End of London. The story is about the Jackson family. Freddie Jackson has just been released from prison and is determind to take over the East End. He has made some connections inside that promise to turn him into what he wants to be.
He has a cousin Jimmy who always has his back but he is the brains behind everything. Freddie would be lost without him, when freddie starts to realise this he starts to resent Jimmy and goes out of his way to ruin his life..

I will not say anything else as i do not want to spoil the book for you but freddie turns into a nasty piece of work and as the book progressed all i wanted was for Freddie to get his comeuppances.

This is a very easy read and you will be gripped from the very beginning of this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Martina's books. It is just as gritting and violent as you would expect from her books so you will not be dissapointed.

Summary: Vicious and vile, but what do you expect. Another great book from Martina Cole.
