Violent and twisted but full of real humanity and a great story.' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaxim Jakubowski\u003cbr\u003eA gripping page-turner that lifts the lid on the London crime scene with much more power than the glossed-over memoirs of sundry Kray acolytes. There is no glamour here, just an ugly world of treachery, violence and dishonour, but with an odd comedy dominating the grisly proceedings. Scary indeed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMIke Stafford of Bookdagger\u003cbr\u003eJudas Pig is blistering with the kind of authenticity the rest of the ex-con stable couldn't dream of mustering. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTony Thompson. The Observer.\u003cbr\u003eHorace Silver has spent most of his life dicing with death. As a senior member of one of Britain's most successful criminal gangs, he has made tens of millions of pounds from drug trafficking, armed robbery, kidnapping and murder over the past 20 years. He has evaded repeated police sting operations, served only a few months in prison and survived at least two attempts on his life. But this week the release of his brutal and uncompromising debut novel is set to put him in the firing line like never before. Judas Pig is the gripping tale of a career criminal who reaches the top of his profession before the ghosts of his past catch up and threaten to destroy him. What sets the book apart is that all the main characters easily identifiable in the underworld and the book is set to reveal for the first time who was responsible for at least five of London's unsolved gangland murders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBook Description\u003cbr\u003eBILLY ABRAHAMS IS A CAREER criminal who makes a very good living from violence, armed robbery, operating sex shops and stealing from other criminals. But he becomes increasingly haunted by childhood ghosts and by the ever-growing influence of Danny, his psychopathic partner in crime.\u003cbr\u003eBilly finds himself starting to look beyond the violence and the scams, slowly descending into a drug-fuelled netherworld that affects his judgment and his perceptions. He is finally tipped over the edge when Danny commits an act even Billy cannot stomach. And that's when things really start to go wrong... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the Publisher.\u003cbr\u003e'Judas Pig' is the genuine article. A briliantly written novel that describes the strak reality of violent crime. Not 'a laugh a minute' caper, but rather dark, dangerous and profoundly troubling. There is humour in there but it is dark, gallows humour. I read the manuscript in a sitting and rank it among the top twenty crime novels I have ever read.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 10, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42740320108607,"sku":"9781507609286","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/4e74fc0aa7d9bc371b5e4c5ac33c700b.webp?v=1765159718","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/judas-pig-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
