Eventually both the police and Michael find out about the relationship and Terry dumps Maura to save himself. The story of a family of West End gangsters of Irish descent in 1960s post-war London, and the secret love affair between Maura, who rises to become one of the leading gangsters of her day, and Terry Patterson, a policeman.
