She has achieved sales of over fourteen million in the UK alone and her tenth novel, The Know, spent seven weeks on The Sunday Times hardback best-sellers list. This special **25th anniversary hardback edition** is a must for fans old and new, and readers of Patricia Cornwell and Karin Slaughter. Creating strong characters and story lines that will have you gripped from the first page to the last. This first book of Cole's also has some great quotes from working class humour to challenging the way society judges and treats criminals of the ruler classes. A stage version of Dangerous Lady opened at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, London, [2] her third to be presented at the Royal Stratford, to positive reviews.

The 'Family' as they are seem 'real' and you can think of yourself as being in the thick of all the incidents that occur. He knew nothing of 'his' baby she was carrying and then had a horrific abortion which lead to her being hospitalized and no longer being able to have kids.

When it comes to the crunch, Maura has to face the pain of lost love in her past – and the dangerous lady discovers her heart is not made entirely of stone. A four-part TV adaptation of Dangerous Lady was broadcast on ITV in 1995, and in 1998 ITV broadcast a four-part adaptation of The Jump. I am looking forward to reading the sequel and I have also downloaded four other Cole novels which I cant wait to get started on!

No one thinks a seventeen year old girl can take on the hard men of London's gangland, but its a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan: she's tough, clever and beautiful - and she's determined that nothing will stand in her way. Headed and dominated by their oldest brother, who is also unashamedly gay, their family cuts a swathe through London as their reach and power grows.As ‘predictable’ she couldn’t handle being a woman in a mans world and needed a man to look after her and save the day.
