One Behind the Ear

 

Malcolm Deakin, one-time warn hero, is a hitman; a classic gangland shooter with 12 ice-cold killings to his name on the streets of London. Each one of these killings is committed without remorse; Deakin does not give a second thought to his hapless victims. But then along comes target number 13&;it's an old school friend, and as the hitman begins researching the contract he gets the nasty feeling that his intended victim is about to turn the tables on him. Set on the same streets and supposedly respectable suburbs where real-life public enemy number one Kenneth Noye made his name, this novel is an authentic, nail-biting, rollercoaster ride through the full, face-on brutality of southeast London's underworld.
