Family - might be the death of you...The Glass family business is
crime, and they're good at what they do. Vengeance took Luke Glass
behind bars - but now he's free and he's never going back. Luke
wants out of the gangster life - all he has to do is convince his
family to let him go. His brother holds the reins of the South
London underworld in his brutal hands - nobody tells Danny Glass no
and expects to live - not even DCI Oliver Stanford, bent copper and
one of the Met's rising stars. The way Danny sees it, his younger
brother and sister Nina owe him everything. The price he demands is
loyalty, and a war with their arch enemy gives him the leverage he
needs to tie Luke to the family once more. Luke can't see a way
out, until Danny commits a crime so terrible it can't be forgiven.
Love turns to hate when secrets are unearthed which pit brother
against brother. Left with no choice but to choose a side, Nina
holds the fate of the family in her hands. In the Glass family,
Owen Mullen has created a crime dynasty to rival the Richardsons
and the Krays. Heart-pounding, jaw-dropping with non-stop action,
Family is perfect for fans of Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and
Mandasue Heller. What readers say about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen
knows how to ramp up the action just when it's needed... he never
fails to give you hard-hitting thrillers that have moments that
will stay with you forever...' 'One of the very best thriller
writers I have ever read.' 'Owen Mullen writes a good story, he
really brings his characters to life and the endings are hard to
guess and never what you expected.'

he meets spoilt rich-girl Allegra, who has a penchant for
shoplifting, Jackie thinks she could be Jamie's way out. But with
the Lawsons closing in, and everyone taking sides, there is only
one way out for Jamie, and to triumph he must take out his biggest
enemy... If you love Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers, and Jessie
Keane, you'll love Heather Atkinson. Discover the bestselling
