His mother disappeared when he was fifteen; 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. Things, you'd think, can only get better. Actually, they're about to get a whole lot worse. He always swore to his mum he'd keep his younger, wilder brother out of trouble, but when Jack turns up at the club early in the morning, covered in someone else's blood, with no memory of the night before, and with the cops hard on his heels, it seems there's no way Frankie can make good on his promise. With Jack banged up, awaiting trial for the vicious murder of a bride-to-be - a murder that's sparked an even more vicious gang war between London's two foremost crime families - Frankie knows a conviction could quickly turn into a death sentence. To prevent that from happening, 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 that he's tried all his life to avoid getting sucked into. Now, however, he no longer has any choice. But in the dog-eat-dog underworld of 1980s SoHo, is he tough enough, and smart enough to come out on top?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ronnie-osullivan-books\"\u003eRonnie O'Sullivan\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781409151302\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Orion Books","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":47915734433969,"sku":"SB-1409151301-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1409151301.jpg?v=1789678232"},{"product_id":"top-of-your-game-eating-for-mind-and-body","title":"Top of Your Game: Eating for Mind and Body","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver 80 recipes and lots of helpful tips for maintaining a healthy body and mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ronnie-osullivan-books\"\u003eRonnie O'Sullivan\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bonnier Books Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781788700917\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bonnier Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £1.00","offer_id":47917224755377,"sku":"SB-1788700910-C2","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1788700910.jpg?v=1789684069"}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/collections\/ronnie-osullivan-books.oembed","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
