Product Description

Product Description
Donna Brunos worships her husband and is devastated when he is jailed for armed robbery. Georgio swears he’s been set up and persuades Donna to help him escape.

Implementing ‘the jump’ takes Donna into a twilight world she never believed existed - a world of brutal sex and casual violence. Finally, she is confronted by a series of shattering revelations that threaten not only everything she believes in but also, ultimately, her own life...

About the Author
Martina Cole was born and brought up in Essex. She is the bestselling author of eleven novels set in London's gangland, and her most recent three novels have gone straight to No. 1 in the Sunday Times bestseller lists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating..thrilling.., 29 Sep 1999
By aleleux@aol.com (New Iberia, Louisiana U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
Last year, while en-route to Russia via a ship, my husband was given this book to help pass the time. After he returned to the States, he gave it to me. This is an excellent book. It's been a long time since an author has held my attention this way. After searching for more of her books, I was able to find them on Amazon.co.uk and was extremely excited. I have since read four of her books in three weeks and I am currently waiting for her latest one to arrive.

Martina Cole writes with an insight to things like no other author I've read. My husband is not a "reader" and he thoroughly enjoys her work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thriller that thrills!, 11 May 2004
By Lisa Henshaw "Legally_Lillywhite" (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't usually read crime novels, I am a historical fiction fan, but someone at work lent me this book. I was hooked from the first few pages. Donna's husband is arrested and imprisoned and she has absolutely no idea of what he was involved in and to what extent. He asks her to arrange his escape and through meeting a lot of dodgy characters (including her in-laws) she finally realises how her husband had been keeping her in so much luxury, and it is a shock to her. Donna's character develops as the story goes on and she becomes stronger and stronger until you are cheering her on in the final pages.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would be interested to read another of the author's novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best so far..., 4 May 2001
By A Customer
Having read most of martina cole's books now this has to be the best by far, not taking anything at all away from the others, but the way she manages to get you inside the characters mind is unbelievable, you almost feel as if you are with the characters all the way.

Just ordered the video for this, having not seen the television serialisation previously, hope its as good as the book.

Can't wait till October for the new one to be released.

Keep up the good work Martina....

Another great Martina Cole - she really draws you into the storyline and creates empathy for the main character (in this case, Donna)and such contempt for the Brunos family. Read more
