'Somebody' is Frank's story - The Prequel. A gripping insight into how it all began. Raw, gritty and fast paced. A very British gangland thriller telling the story of Frank's early years and journey into the criminal underworld.

Born into poverty, Frank never had a chance to choose his path. But when he sets his sights on a life of power and wealth, he quickly becomes a force to be reckoned with in the criminal underworld.

As he rises to the top, Frank must navigate a dangerous game of violence and betrayal, all while trying to hold onto his code of ethics. But with powerful enemies lurking around every corner, and a reoccurring problem that won't go away, Frank must fight to protect his empire and his loved ones. With help from an unlikely source, he sets out to make a name for himself and prove that he is more than just a nobody. But as he becomes a somebody, he also becomes a target. In this fast-paced and gritty British gangland thriller, Frank must use all his cunning and strength to stay on top and survive.

If you're a fan of "The Godfather" and "Goodfellas", you won't want to miss the explosive prequel and fourth book in the Pearson series.

Here is what readers are saying about Somebody.......
---Absolutely brilliant book, I honestly couldn’t put it down. If you like gang land crime stories this is a must read. It’s also made better as it’s set in my local Nottinghamshire area so I can relate to the places featured in it.
I think MJ Elliott is up there with some of the top writers.
---Where do I start . I’m racing home from work to carry on reading this. I’m reading it in adverts of my favourite tv programmes. Can’t put it down I carry it round in my bag in case I get a minute for another couple of pages. Absolutely brilliant.
---I was hooked on the twists and turns of Pearson family after reading The Wrong Man and thoroughly enjoyed the first three books. I was really pleased when I saw that the prequel was written and loved reading about the rise to the top of the young Frank Pearson. This is another great book in the series from this author and a must-read for followers of this genre.
---This book is a must. It’s brilliant, very well written by a fantastic author. During the reading of this book and the three before I might add, I could actually see this as a film as well as a book. It’s gripping and knowledgeable. He portrays the character’s admirably; it’s good old fashioned loyalty and leadership and very true to life about how things were done back then. Would I read them all again/ Definitely yes, well done to the author.
