Doing time runs in the family...

Johnny Raglan's been sent down for life, and to him it's just another adventure.

His mother Dolly has been through it all before, so she knows the score. And she takes it upon herself to show Johnny's wife Janey what it takes to survive.

But Dolly can't control her other son Jimmy. He has taken over the family business, but when rumours start to spread that he isn't to be trusted, all hell breaks loose.

For if there's one thing the Raglans won't tolerate, it's disloyalty...

About the Author

Martina Cole's first novel Dangerous Lady caused a sensation when it was published, and launched one of the bestselling fiction writers of her generation.

Martina has since gone on to have seventeen No. 1 bestsellers. She won the British Book Award for Crime Thriller of the Year with The Take, which then went on to be a hit TV series for Sky 1.

Four of her novels have made it on the screen, with more in production, and three have been adapted as stage plays.

Her unique, powerful storytelling is acclaimed for its hard-hitting, true-to-life style - there is no one like Martina Cole.
