Jaq: Una storia da Top Boy

Rate this book
La giamaicana Jaqueline, detta Jaq, è il braccio destro del capo della gang che gestisce lo spaccio a Hackney, Londra. Ha lavorato in strada duramente da quando aveva quattordici anni, portando i soldi a casa per mantenere a galla la sua famiglia. Ora, si è ritagliata una posizione ai vertici della gang di Summerhouse e condivide una casa bellissima con la sua ragazza Becks.

In bilico fra la lealtà verso il proprio clan e l’amore per la compagna, fra l’ambizione criminale e una ritrovata sensibilità sociale, Jaq dovrà fare una allontanarsi dalla malavita e condurre un’esistenza che non ha mai nemmeno preso in considerazione o giocarsi il tutto per tutto nel suo ambiente. In ogni caso si farà dei nemici.
E quei nemici non la lasceranno andare facilmente...



Dal creatore della strepitosa serie Netflix Top Boy, crudo spaccato della malavita londinese, un nuovo entusiasmante capitolo della saga.
