Guns Of Brixton : Paul D. Brazill (Fahrenheit Pocket Noir)

"A darkly comic crime story where everything that can go wrong does."

New Year in London, and everything’s gone straight to hell.

Bernie Lugg’s just blown Half-Pint Harry’s brains all over a lock-up floor. Sid Carter, his partner in crime, is helping him clean up the mess. And Charles Goode, middle-aged, middle-class, and mid-hangover, has just taken a wrong turn into their world of gangsters, guns, and chaos.

Before long, a suitcase everyone wants goes missing, a corpse no one wants keeps turning up, and the streets of South London turn into a darkly comic carnival of bad timing and worse decisions.

Guns of Brixton is a hard-boiled black comedy packed with crooked cops, washed-up crooks, and the kind of dialogue that snaps like a switchblade.

Paul D. Brazill delivers classic Brit Grit mayhem - a full throttle blast of comic noir so sharp it should come with a health warning.
