Brilliant story ! Just did not want to put the book down it was so gripping !Would think it may be hard for American readers to understand as it is so full of English slang, the story is set in my birthplace and it was great read for me..
5.0 out of 5 stars

Donna Brunos is married to Georgio, who she thinks is a successful businessman. He gets arrested; and she learns who her husband really is; which is a crook and conman. Martina Cole never disappoints!!

Don't jump on this one...,

This review is from: The Jump (Paperback)
Gorgio Brunos has to spend eighteen years at Parkhurst prison after being charged of conspiracy to murder during a robbery in Essex where a security man died. As his wife Donna plans to break him out of prison - hence the title of the novel - she is about to discover Gorgio's criminal activities, dealing, among other things, in child pornography.A very lengthy plot with banal ingredients - drugs, crime, sex.
