Being head of a family is what she knows best

A decade ago, Cara Fraser, wife to one of Glasgow's most notorious gangsters, was left a widow after Kyle Fraser was slain on the city streets.

The intervening years haven't been easy - not least as Kyle's murder left her to bring up little Ryan and Sean alone.

Now, Ryan and Sean are adults, and honouring their father's memory by rising up to become the top gangsters on the dark streets of Glasgow.

Cara's kept her head down, but has spent the last few years vowing to take vengeance on the crime family who killed her beloved husband and left her children without a father.

Glasgow gangland is about to discover that a mother will do anything for her family... even murder.

A gritty crime thriller that fans of Kimberley Chambers and Mandasue Heller won't be able to put down.
