Description

Summer 1977: It s no holiday in the sun in Handstead New Town, a north Manchester overspill. Known to the local cops as Horse s Arse, it s preparing to celebrate the Queen s Silver Jubilee. But with lob-in football violence, rampant police hooliganism and an expanding LSD market - there ll be a riot going on.

Local gangster, Sercan Ozdemir has underestimated DCI Harrison, head of the CID; blood on the floor in an interview room is all in a day s work for him. And Ozdemir knows that if his crime family discover he s been doing his own thing, they ll pull his face off.

Meanwhile the uniform cops, Psycho, Pizza, The Brothers, Ally and the others, hurl the rule book out of the window and continue to hold the tide of criminal scum at bay for as long as they can in a town they despise...

Reviews

"After just three books, the policemen in this wonderful series seem like old friends. Raw, crude, ugly and brazenly real . . . shocking and funny, a great read." "The Guardian""
"Charlie Owen is a talent . . . the first book since "Layer Cake" to have an authentic voice that humorously exposes the dark and eccentric world of English street crime." Guy Ritchie, director, "Snatch""
