THE TAKE (Martina Cole)

Yet another East End gangland saga. Freddie introduces his younger cousin Jimmy into the life of crime only to be usurped by him at a later date. All their businesses are masterminded by Ozzy from his prison cell. He is in the know about everything and everyone and God help anyone who crosses him. The families are complex.

The recurring themes are violence, sex, bad language and the most vicious of murders. A real page turner, yet despite the descriptive content, it is imperative to know how these people end their days. In Cole’s inimitable style, even the most corrupt person can be portrayed as good and honest.
