Prologue
About the Author
Martina Cole is the No. 1 bestselling author of nineteen hugely successful novels, including the recent No. 1 bestseller The Life. Her previous novel, The Faithless, was also a No. 1 bestseller, as was The Family, which was the bestselling hardback adult fiction title of 2010. The Take and The Runaway were adapted for Sky One with remarkable reviews and Two Women and The Graft have been adapted for the stage; both were highly acclaimed when performed at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, which also staged Dangerous Lady in 2012 – celebrating twenty years since Martina’s debut novel was published.
Martina Cole is a phenomenon. Her hard-hitting, uncompromising and haunting writing makes for an incredible read, and sales of her books now stand at over ten million copies. She is the person who dares to tell it like it really is.
Martina’s twentieth novel, Revenge, will be published in autumn 2013. Read on for a special preview at the end of The Ladykiller.
Praise
Praise for Martina Cole’s bestsellers:
‘Cole is brilliant at portraying the good among the bad, and vice versa, so until the very end we never quite know who to trust. This is the very stuff that makes her so compelling’ Daily Mirror
‘An author who knows intimately the world she writes about’ Daily Express
‘Martina Cole pulls no punches, writes as she sees it, refuses to patronise or condescend to either her characters or fans’ Independent on Sunday
