Publisher's summary

Betrayal, family loyalties, secrets: not all gangsters live in the East End.

Two families run this part of Manchester: the Johnsons and the Bennetts. With the head of the Johnson family banged up, the Bennetts have made their move. But power comes at a price....

Now Charlie Johnson is out of prison and he wants his empire back. But the Bennetts have had a taste of the money and the control. Charlie’s sons want to strike now and destroy their rivals, but Charlie wants to wait. He has a personal score to settle.

Charlie’s wife, Janey, hates that her controlling husband is home from prison and is hatching a plan to leave him, but she knows he won’t let her go easily—not with the secrets she carries. She needs allies—and through her daughter and her passionate affairs, she may have found the way out she needs.

But for all of them, getting what they want will mean risking everything.

Critic reviews

"The Northern Martina Cole. Karen Woods writes about Manchester with a page-turning fierceness." (Melanie Blake)

"Wow! Karen Woods has delivered a gripping read full of grit and with characters to keep you turning the pages. And that ending! I didn’t see that coming at all. Loved it. Five huge stars from me." (Caz Finlay, author of the Bad Blood series)

Entertaining to the end

The feel of being an onlooker in a soap of crime and intrigue. The families feel real by the end of the book.
