Drug Gang: The most compelling & controversial crime thriller in years

By Neil Walker

Book Overview

In a world ruled by fear, every choice has a cost...

How far would you go to get everything you ever wanted?

Summer, 2001. John Kennedy, a young man with a shadowy past in Belfast, arrives in Manchester looking for a new start. Instead, he's pulled into the orbit of The Brotherhood, a ruthless drug gang that rules the streets with fear and violence.

At first, the fast money and street power feel like everything John ever craved. But every step up the ladder demands a bigger price-loyalty tested, lines crossed, blood spilled.

In a world of drug dealing, robbery, and revenge, John must decide what he's willing to sacrifice... and what kind of man he's willing to become.

The first book in the pulse-pounding Drug Gang Trilogy.

Hard-hitting, razor-edged, and electrifying, Drug Gang plunges readers deep into the violent underworld of early-2000s Manchester-where every choice carries a price, and survival is never guaranteed.

Praise for Drug Gang:

"Think the craziness of John Wick plus the insanity of Pulp Fiction." - Briar's Reviews

"Breaking Bad meets John Wick. The chief protagonist is Belfast-born, morally malleable anti-hero John Kennedy who gets sucked into the murky underworld of the lucrative drug scene." - The Irish Post

"This book is a tour de force...massively cool, urban, dark, powerful, disturbing and shocking...You think Natural Born Killers & Reservoir Dogs. This should be made into a movie " - Alex J Book Reviews

"This was one fast-paced, gut-wrenching, heart-pounding, blood-soaked tale. Excellent story. Five stars." - Jeff Dawson, author of Sabotage

"Read it cover to cover and absolutely could not put it down. Exciting, violent, filled with suspense...it was quite possibly the best novel I've read this year." - Logan Magnone, author of The Hunt for Jenx Vargough

"Brutal, visceral and totally engrossing...a gripping story that is hard-edged and totally believable. The short chapters and easy style make this a page-turner...5 very violent and gritty stars " - Murray Bailey, author of Map of the Dead

"Highly readable combination of lean prose, tight plotting and wince-inducing ultra-violent mayhem...daringly near-the-knuckle." - The Irish News
