Lamb to the Slaughter - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Brighton, 1988. Beneath the neon lights of the pier lies a city rotting from police corruption and organized crime.
When a ruthless slum landlord is linked to the suspicious death of a local shop owner, Alex Martin and his circle of friends decide exposure isn't enough. Justice must be forced.
They are an unlikely alliance: left-wing activists, citizen journalists, and political misfits scraping by on idealism and raw nerve. To fund their underground campaign, they open an illegal shebeen. But the venture draws the attention of Harry Sexton—a calculating London underworld kingpin whose business interests are anything but clean.
As Alex is pulled into Sexton’s dangerous orbit, survival demands moral compromises that test every belief he holds.
With police surveillance tightening and betrayal closing in from the shadows, the stakes turn lethal. When a desperate plan backfires, Alex is caught in a deadly vice between a crooked system, a brutal syndicate, and the people he loves.
How far is he willing to go to protect his community? And can justice ever be clean when violence becomes the only remaining option?
Lamb to the Slaughter is a gritty, retro British noir thriller about solidarity, compromise, and the blurred line between resistance and crime. Blending the atmospheric coastal rot of Graham Greene with the sharp political tension of Mick Herron, it is the perfect read for fans of 1980s history, anti-establishment fiction, and hard-edged intrigue.
