Guilty

The stuff of legend Mirror

Guilty, the heart-stopping new novel from the queen of crime, Martina Cole, is now available for pre-order.

It's time to confess their sins.

Set in the gritty underbelly of the Medway towns, Guilty is a suspenseful and evocative journey into the lives of those entrenched in crime and survival. Steph Barker, a single mother, can't escape the shadows of her past. Haunted by a tragic loss, she channels her energy into running a women's shelter for local prostitutes, offering them a glimmer of hope amidst their turmoil. However, it is people like Joseph Potter, also grappling with his grief, who keep her motivated and grounded.

When Hennie, one of the women from the shelter, suddenly goes missing, Steph's suspicions are immediately drawn to Artie Rogers, Hennie's violent and notorious pimp. Steph and Artie's history is fraught with tension, but his tyrannical control over the town has now become unmanageable even for Steph. As another prostitute disappears, Steph realises that the stakes are higher than ever, and it's a race against time to uncover who's guilty and put an end to the perpetrator's reign of terror.

As the secrets begin to unravel, it becomes apparent that everyone is hiding something, but one individual is concealing the most heinous secret of all—murder.
