This book is amazing .The characters are very believable and it’s such a page turner.
The way they deal with other gangs is fantastic and you feel the terror of the victims as they are tortured and killed .
This is the first book by MJ Elliott and I can’t wait for more .

Grabs you from the beginning. Once started did not want to put it down until finished. Extremely believable characters and plot lines. Cannot wait for more from this author.

An action packed crime story about a mob of territorial hoodlums based in Mansfield, and district. And in Leeds, Derby, Nottingham, Leicester etc...
Fast paced and very direct, brutally violent and uncompromising.
I enjoyed it and finished it pretty promptly. It's a first class page-turner once fully into it.
There are lulls in the action here and there, this tends to be at the start of each act, and where the attention moves to new characters or the mob wives or families, that's where I realise I'm really interested in the nitty-gritty of the dirty business of crime and criminals ... LOL!
