I was impressed with Andy Christopher’s writing style – it is both gritty and hard-hitting, but with great depth in the characters he builds up.This is London gang warfare like many of us may not know it, certainly for the tourists who just see it’s shiny side.There are certain undertones of The Godfather in this novel, but it is very much it’s own type of novel. A rather innocent and nave Ollie goes to his grandfather’s funeral where suddenly the action takes off, and Ollie begins to emerge himself into a London mafia world that his so different to what he has experienced before.I found the London scenes both detailed and convincing – you can practically smell it, and with the great characterization in the novel, this is one you should not miss if you are a fan of this genre.  Very nicely done..
