Yet another thriller from the prolific pen of the great british horror author Shaun Hutson! I have to say that I do prefer his supernatural/horror books to his terrorist/thriller books, but nevertheless he's yet to disappoint me with any of this novels!

The story revolves around a group of minor league criminals based in London, who attempt their largest 'job' yet, only to find themselves getting into trouble with the local gangland boss..

Combine this with a group of 'Yardies' coming across from Jamaica with the intention of 'taking over' london, and you just know some blood is going to be spilt!!

This book has all the usual Shaun Hutson trademarks. The Blood, the Gore, the Violence. I did feel that the ending was rather, err... 'Hollywood'? Well, 'sentimental crap' was the phrase that actually came to mind. All in all though another good book from Mr Hutson to add to the many I already have, here's hoping the next one will be a horror!
