A Family Betrayal: A totally addictive and absolutely gripping crime thriller with a jaw-dropping twist

Betrayal cuts deep when it comes from within the family…

Maria, Alex and Antonio Capello were raised by their gangster father with just one rule: family is everything. Now he’s dead, Maria works as a lawyer by day and a mob boss by night: risking everything if her secret life is ever revealed.

She trusts her smart, suave, dependable brother, Alex with her life, but it breaks her heart that she can’t say the same about Antonio. As the black sheep of the family, Antonio is here for a good time, not a long time.

So when the head of another firm visits with news about Antonio causing problems in the grimy underworld of London’s Soho, Maria is furious. Of course she wants to protect her baby brother, but he just made an enemy of one of the deadliest families in London. If she doesn’t act now, all hell will break loose.

But Maria and Alex have no idea that Antonio has already taken his bad behaviour to the next level. He’s broken every rule they’ve ever lived by. Maria finds herself with a decision to make – look out for the firm or protect Antonio and risk everything her father built going up in flames. Can the Capellos survive, or will bad blood kill them off for good?

Fans of Martina Cole, Jacqui Rose and Kimberley Chambers will absolutely love this first book in a thrilling new series from bestselling gangland author Emma Tallon.
