Lamont ‘Teflon’ Jones, Shorty and K-Bar return in the 4th hard hitting Leeds set Gangland Thriller, Target - Absolute Power.
The series follows Lamont Jones and his Crew,, Running the Hood and the drug Game, Lamont is the Crime Kingpin.
Set in Chapeltown in Leeds, this story picks up in 2016, not long after the death of Lamont’s partner Jenny.
With Lamont Forced to stay in the game he so desperately tried to get out of, he finds himself now head of an even bigger faction and with one thing on his mind - revenge for Jenny’s Death.
But life is not quite so simple , as Lamont and his crew begin to come apart at it seams, a real challenge for power is emerging, a threat to Lamont’s Throne. A power with no qualms about who he attacks as he rips into the very people Lamont holds dear.
Sizzling, action packed and violently good, Ricky Black again writes an Authentic feeling , gritty and powerful thriller.
Ricky Black feels like he’s upped his game even more in this part as this time around no one is safe, it’s no holds barred and the shocks and bombshells hit hard.
Blisteringly Good, Ricky Black knows how to write! He’s a top class Talent with a protagonist so slick and cool, even though he does bad things, you root for every step of his dark journey to redemption.
Explosive yet compelling story telling, this isn’t just about guns and drugs, but there is a deep story being told, of one man in particular, dealing with grief that follows his feet step.
I hope there is more from Lamont Jones, I have a sneaking suspicion there might be.
Brilliant.

What a fantastic read
Ricky takes you right into the heart of Chapletown in Leeds.
From book 1 he has developed the story and the character’s
so you feel you are there and know them well.
I hope he continues to write.
