* Don't miss NO REGRET, the brand new novel from Martina Cole. Coming October 2025. *
In gangland London, Maura Ryan is queen...
Martina Cole's extraordinary first novel DANGEROUS LADY introduced a totally original genre of thriller, paving the way for her multiple No. 1 bestsellers, including BETRAYAL and GET EVEN.
'Right from the start [Cole] has enjoyed unqualified approval for her distinctive and powerfully written fiction' [The Times]
No one thinks a seventeen-year-old girl can take on the hard men of London's gangland, but it's a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan: she's tough, clever and beautiful - which makes her one very dangerous lady.
Together, she and her brother Michael are unbeatable but notoriety has its price. The police are determined to put Maura away once and for all - and not everyone in the family think that's such a bad idea. 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.
Once you're hooked on Maura Ryan, be sure to read MAURA'S GAME, the second book from 'the undisputed queen of crime writing' (Guardian).

Amazing...
From the moment I opened the page I was hooked, eager to read the next chapter and I love the fairytale of the criminal world ending, fantastic.
Dangerous Lady
Great book, would have rather read it myself as the narrator was awful.
