THE FRONT is a gritty story of small-time crime leading to big-time punishment, set in the Manchester badlands.

'One of the bad girls of gritty crime' Daily Mirror

When four old school friends decide to make some easy money, they pick the wrong target.
Very wrong.

Robbing a small supermarket on a Manchester estate looks easy - but with one of them wounded and a dead body on their hands, things can't get worse. But they do. The supermarket is merely the front for something bigger.

The friends are small fish who have unwittingly plunged into a very big pond and they are now swimming with the great white sharks of the criminal underworld.
