About Martina Cole

Martina Cole was just 18 when she got pregnant with her son Living in a - photo 2

Martina Cole was just 18 when she got pregnant with her son. Living in a council flat with no TV and no money to go out, she started writing to entertain herself.

It would be ten years before she did anything with what she wrote.

She chose her agent for his name Darley Anderson and sent him the manuscript, thinking he was a woman. That was on a Friday. Monday night, she was doing the vacuuming when she took the call: a mans voice said Martina Cole, you are going to be a big star.

The rest is history: Dangerous Lady caused a sensation when it was published, and launched one of the bestselling fiction writers of her generation. Martina has gone on to have more No. 1 original fiction bestsellers than any other author.

She won the British Book Award for Crime Thriller of the Year with The Take , which then went on to be a hit TV series for Sky 1. Four of her novels have made it to the screen, with more in production, and three have been adapted as stage plays.

She is proud to be an Ambassador for charities including Reading Ahead and Gingerbread, the council for one-parent families. In 2013, she was inducted to the Crime Writers Association Hall of Fame, and in 2014 received a Variety Legends of Industry Award.

Her son is a grown man now, and she lives in Kent with her daughter except when she chases the sun to Cyprus, where she has two bookshops.

Her unique, powerful storytelling is acclaimed for its hard-hitting, true-to-life style there is no one else who writes like Martina Cole.

Book One

Betrayal - image 3

Behold my mother and my brethren!

Matthew 12:49

When lovely woman stoops to folly

And finds too late that men betray,

What charm can soothe her melancholy,

What art can wash her guilt away?

The Vicar of Wakefield , Oliver Goldsmith (172874)

Chapter One

Betrayal - image 4

1981

Reeva OHaras voice was loud and harsh as it always was when she had what she considered to be an audience. Even at 8.15 a.m. in her local Co-op, Reeva never failed to entertain. Her saving grace was she could be very funny when the fancy took her.

So I said, Go and find your fucking fathers and get some sweet money off them ! She screeched with laughter at her own wit and a few of the other mothers in the busy shop joined in.

Reevas ever-present cigarette was dangling from her red-stained lips and her distended belly told anyone who cared to look that she was nearly on her time.

Jack Walters, the manager of the Co-op, liked Reeva. She wasnt a bad girl really she had just been badly used in her time by the many men she seemed to attract. She attracted him . She was a good-looking young woman with a warm and generous personality and clearly a healthy attitude towards sex unlike his wife, Doris, who thought it should take place in the pitch dark and as fast as humanly possible. Jack kept that gem of wisdom to himself though; Doris was as narrow-minded as she was skinny. It was like shagging a skeleton.
