The Cover Up
The Cover Up

Manchester's criminal underworld exposed in gritty detail.

If you're drawn to the dark and gritty texture of urban crime novels, "The Cover Up" will take you deep into the heart of Manchester’s underbelly. Marnie Riches crafts a compelling narrative that's not just about the crimes, but also about the complex lives of those on both sides of the law. The vivid portrayal of the city as much a character as the people in it creates an immersive experience that's hard to put down.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A leading light in the field of Mancunian noir. Gritty and gripping. Watch your back. Everyone else will be. How far would you go to protect your empire? Manchester’s criminal underworld is reeling from the loss of its leader, Paddy O’Brien. In the wake of her husband’s death, Sheila O’Brien takes charge of the city, and for once, she’s doing things her way. But she hasn’t reckoned with the fearsome Nigel Bancroft, a threat from Birmingham who is determined to conquer Manchester next. As a power tussle begins, Sheila is determined to keep control of the empire she has won – even if it means she has to die trying. A heart-stopping read with a gritty edge, perfect for fans of Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers. Can be read as a stand-alone book!
