Offered in 0 more formatsAbandoned by his alcoholic gambler father just before his fourteenth birthday, Danny Cadogan is forced into sudden adulthood in order to support his mother and siblings, a venture for which he and a childhood friend begin a lucrative criminal organization in London's underworld.
Just before Danny Cadogan's fourteenth birthday, his father leaves. Having drunkenly run up a gambling debt he cannot pay, Big Dan Cadogan takes the easy way out and abandons his wife and children to face the wrath of the men sent to settle the score. Determined to protect his mother, brother, and sister, Danny turns into a young man set on making his way in a violent and dangerous world. He becomes a Face. And not just a Face, but the most feared criminal in England. Out for all he can get. At any cost.
Danny's ruthlessness on the streets of London doesn't stop at his front door. He rules his wife, Mary, and his children with an iron will - and his fists. But if 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.
From international bestselling author Martina Cole comes a gritty, gripping, and utterly unforgettable new novel set in the heart of London's criminal gangland.
