Pearl

The BRAND NEW explosive gangland thriller from Gillian Godden

Pearl Armstrong, once the ruthless “Queen of Gangland,” is back. Freshly paroled from Holloway Prison, she returns to Soho not for nostalgia — but to reclaim the empire she built with blood, cunning, and grit.

Her sons, Kristian and Jerry, have turned the Armstrong legacy into a shadow of its former self: crumbling clubs, unpaid debts, and dangerous alliances. The Oyster Club, once a symbol of power and precision, teeters under the predatory Vescari brothers and the vengeful Slick Hawthorne.

In a city where loyalty is scarce and betrayal lurks in every shadow, Pearl must outthink, outfight, and outlast a generation chasing flashbulbs over discipline. As old scores collide with new threats, she’ll learn the hardest lesson of all: empires aren’t inherited — they’re seized, one brutal move at a time.

And Pearl is still a queen with many more moves left…
