STOP PRESS: Martina Cole's stunning new novel THE BUSINESS is out in hardback this October

FACES the No.1 bestseller is now out in paperback to buy at all good bookstores

FACES: Gritty. Gripping. Unforgettable. Martina's back.

Just before Danny Cadogan’s fourteenth birthday, his father, Big Dan, leaves his wife and children to face the wrath of the men sent to collect his gambling debt. Determined to protect his mother, brother and sister, overnight Danny becomes set on making his way in a violent and dangerous world. He becomes a Face. Not just a Face, but the most feared Face in the Smoke. Out for all he can get. At any cost. Danny’s ruthlessness doesn’t stop at his front door. He rules his family with an iron will – and his fists. But if his wife, Mary breaks her silence, it could shake Danny’s criminal empire; right to the very core. And for a Face at the top of his game, there’s only one way to go. Down. Because, after all, debts can be paid without money. Set in the heart of London's criminal gangland, FACES is gritty, gripping and utterly unforgettable.
