When it's in your blood, there's no other way.
THE LIFE by the 'undisputed queen of crime writing' (Guardian) and Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Martina Cole is an unflinching novel that exposes a world that many would rather ignore...
The Baileys are born into the Life.
Brothers Daniel and Peter rule London's East End with threats and violence. Only a fool would cross them, but there are always those in the shadows who will try.
And when their enemies strike, every Bailey pays the price. But none more so than Daniel's only daughter, Tania. The Life is in her blood, and now it's her weapon for revenge.

Customer Reviews
Good but not great!
It's taken me 9 months to finish this book which normally isn't the case with Martina Cole but I find the middle rather boring the end seemed to become a lot more gripping and I finished the last 200 pages in a night! other than that it was rather samey and 'the life' was mentioned way too many times. Worth a read but definitely not one of her greatest..
Captivating
Absolutely glued myself to this book brilliant as always fantastic storylines
