There is no one like Martina Cole. Fact. The Essex-born author boasts number one original fiction bestsellers than any other author. And, with much anticipation, the writing phenomenon will be releasing her latest crime novel this month, entitled No Mercy.
Expect nothing other than a heart-stopping rollercoaster ride of a read with a gangster underworld twist. Martina reveals: ‘No Mercy is mainly focused around Puerto Banus in Marbella when the drugs, guns and crime scene started up there during the 1980s.
‘The book is about Diana Davis who has been head of the family business since the death of her husband, an infamous bank robber. She's a woman in a man's world, but no one messes with her. Her only son, Angus, is a natural-born villain, but he needs to earn Diana's trust before she'll allow him into the business. Once he's proved he has the brains to run their clubs in Marbella, he is given what he's always wanted,’ Martina continues.
‘It's the beginning of a reign of terror that knows no bounds. But Angus has a blind spot: his wife, Lorna, and their three kids, Angus Junior, Sean and Eilish. As the next generation enters the business, Angus has a painful truth to learn. Even when it comes to family, he must show no mercy.’
This latest release is another landmark in 2019 that has been a year of accolades and milestones for the renowned writer, which has also included writing a feature film and turning 60 earlier this year.
