A brutal depiction of the drug-fuelled Yardie gang wars of 90s London by Victor Headley.
At Heathrow Airport's busy immigration desk, a newly arrived Jamaican strolls through with a kilo of top-grade cocaine strapped to his body. And keeps on walking...
By the time the syndicate get to hear about the missing consignment, D is in business - for himself - as the Front Line's newest don.
But D's treachery will never be forgotten - or forgiven. The message filters down from the Yardie crime lords to their soldiers on the streets:
Find D. Find the merchandise. And make him pay for his sins...
“A book which everyone should read, and soon”
