Full review here - http://annabookbel.net/an-almost-old-fashioned-modern-gangster-novel . If you like Magnus MIll's dark comedies about men and their work, you'll appreciate Thomas's debut novel, in which a chap goes to an isolated pub on the Yorkshire/Lancashire border to lay low. Tom has to muck in with ageing gangster Frank's gang there who are doing some work for Yorkshire gangster Wayne. Plenty of rivalry between the gangsters, plenty of sitting around in a grotty pub doing nothing, plenty of action once the others find out the price on Tom's head. Full of details that bring the men, the girl, the pub, the location all to life, told with dark humour, I loved this book. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Tom is grieving for his girlfriend. Her powerful family, convinced he is responsible for her death, place a bounty on his head. On the run, Tom seeks refuge in the Bothy, a dilapidated moorland pub run by ageing gangster Frank. Tom tries to keep the bounty a secret, but news travels fast, even in the middle of nowhere.Trevor Mark Thomas's first novel is a tense, violent drama involving desperate characters with little to lose apart from their lives. Amid moments of black humour and rare tenderness, buried fears and rivalries rise to the surface, creating an atmosphere of claustrophobia that builds to almost unbearable levels.
