What to expect
Some legacies aren’t inherited. They’re taken.
Patrick O’Leary learned one lesson from the war: survive at any cost. After fleeing Ireland for England with his wife Bridie and daughter Nora, he’s drawn into the brutal world of enforcing, where survival soon turns into ambition – and ambition into a ruthless hunger for power.
As Patrick rises, his family pays the price. Nora grows up watching her father transform, and when his violence finally tears the family apart, she is forced to make a choice that will shape all their futures forever...
Spanning post-war Ireland and the gritty streets of 1960s London, Book 1 in The Legacy Series is a dark and gritty gangland thriller about ambition, loyalty, and the devastating legacy of one man’s choices.
