| book description |

Some would say he wasn't born this way. Born into a mining community, Frank experiences the hardships his parents endure. He recognises how his father lives for the drink and how his mum is left to run the family home on little more than a pittance. Determined to never set foot underground for a living, Frank sets himself on a path for a better life. His lust for violence and power makes him a formidable force. With his clear head and business-like mind, he is soon running the criminal underworld of his hometown. Frank comes to realise that in the world of criminality, ethics and honour are traits few possess. While he attempts to grow his empire within the boundaries of his own code of conduct, certain members of the criminal fraternity have plans to take him down. Frank must stay one step ahead if he is to stay alive - and to achieve his ambition of gaining a seat at the top table. In this world, success is seen as a threat. In Frank's world, a threat is seen as an opportunity.
