About this ebook
* Don't miss GUILTY, the brand new novel from Martina Cole. Out now. *
In this family, if you want something, you take it.
THE TAKE by No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author Martina Cole won the British Book Award for best Crime Thriller of the Year and was adapted for television with an all-star cast including Tom Hardy, Brian Cox and Charlotte Riley.
'Martina tells it like it really is' - Sun.
Fresh out of prison, Freddie Jackson wants to rule the underworld. His wife Jackie wants her husband back and in her bed only. Jackie's sister Maggie wants to be with Jimmy, Freddie's cousin. And Jimmy has big gangland ambitions of his own.
Everyone in the Jackson family wants something. And there's no such thing as loyalty.
You might have seen THE TAKE and THE RUNAWAY on TV - but that certainly doesn't mean you know what happens in the books!

Didnt think id love the book more then the 'sky' adaptation, but it's 100x better! The relationships are so intricately woven. The story is pure genius. MC outdid herself with this one.

Wasn't too bad, but totally messed up the storyline towards the end. All her books are all the same really. You read one, you have the storyline for all...

About the author
Martina Cole's first novel Dangerous Lady caused a sensation when it was published, and launched one of the bestselling fiction writers of her generation.
Martina has since gone on to have seventeen No. 1 bestsellers. She won the British Book Award for Crime Thriller of the Year with The Take, which then went on to be a hit TV series for Sky 1.
Four of her novels have made it on the screen, with more in production, and three have been adapted as stage plays.
Her unique, powerful storytelling is acclaimed for its hard-hitting, true-to-life style - there is no one like Martina Cole.
