Revenge

Streets Painted with Vengeance

In Revenge, Martina Cole plunges readers into the unforgiving heart of London’s East End, where every crooked lane and graffiti-scarred wall reverberates with the promise of retribution. When tough-as-nails street-worker Frankie Malone witnesses the murder of her closest friend, she vows to dismantle the criminal empire responsible—piece by piece. Abandoning the safety of her daytime job, Frankie adopts a ruthless persona by night, infiltrating clubs, back-street dens, and the inner circles of the city’s most dangerous kingpins. As alliances shift and bodies pile up, her quest for payback ignites a chain reaction of violence that threatens to consume everyone she loves.

Alliances Forged in Blood

With the odds stacked and the police clueless, Frankie forms an uneasy pact with Danny “The Blade” Santoro, a disillusioned hit-man craving one last shot at redemption. Together they navigate a labyrinth of secret ledgers, encrypted messages, and hidden caches of stolen cash—each revelation drawing them closer to the ruthless boss who pulled the strings. Yet in a world where loyalty costs lives, Frankie and Danny must learn to trust one another even as their own demons stalk every shadow. Martina Cole’s razor-sharp dialogue and vivid street-level detail paint a pulse-pounding portrait of desperation, where every handshake could seal your fate.

When Justice Demands a Price

As Frankie’s vendetta reaches its final crescendo beneath the neon glow of an abandoned warehouse, she confronts a choice as lethal as any bullet: claim her revenge and lose herself forever, or walk away and leave her friend’s killer to haunt another day. In a breathtaking climax of gunfire and betrayal, Frankie discovers that vengeance may offer fleeting satisfaction—but real justice requires the strength to break the cycle of violence. Revenge is a savage, unflinching journey into the darkness of human nature and the fierce light of a heroine determined to fight back.
