The Maura Ryan series by Martina Cole consists of Dangerous Lady (1992) and Maura’s Game (2002). Dangerous Lady was Cole’s debut novel and introduced Maura Ryan, a seventeen-year-old who enters London’s criminal world alongside her brother Michael. The book was adapted for ITV in 1995 and later became a stage play.

Maura’s Game picks up a decade later, with Maura trying to leave the criminal life behind only to be pulled back in. The two books bracket Cole’s career in a way: the debut that launched her, and the sequel written after she’d become one of Britain’s biggest-selling crime writers.
