Framed

Fast paced and full of grit, this is the first crime novel from the UK''s most charismatic sporting genius.

WHEN THE GAME IS MURDER, YOU CAN''T AFFORD TO LOSE.

An innocent man.

Frankie James is a young man with a lot on his shoulders. His mother disappeared when he was sixteen; his father''s in jail for armed robbery; and he owes rent on the Soho snooker club he inherited to one of London''s toughest gangsters.

A brutal murder.

And things are about to get a whole lot worse when Frankie''s brother Jack is accused of killing a bride-to-be. He needs to find out who framed Jack and why; but that means entering the sordid world of bent coppers, ruthless mobsters and twisted killers.

But in the dog-eat-dog underworld of 1990s Soho, is he tough enough, and smart enough to come out on top?

If you like Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers, you''ll LOVE this.
