The Last Laugh: A Darkly Comic Crime Novel Set in Yorkshire's Underworld

“Brilliant read, brilliantly written. As a retired cop, I’ve dealt with many characters described in this book”

“Great book. I always struggle to find a good book because they’re never gritty enough but this one certainly was”


A hangover. A bad decision. A chain reaction of drugs and violence.

Bradford, 2005. Rob wakes up late on the morning of his 28th birthday with no idea that the next twelve hours will drag him into a world of crime, chaos, and regret. What begins as a simple mistake soon spirals into a deadly game of revenge, one that forces Rob to confront his pride, his addictions, and the life he's been trying to escape.

The Last Laugh is a darkly comic British crime novel, a fast-paced, character-driven thriller that exposes the realities of the drug scene, the impact of harsh living conditions on mental health, and the fragile line between escapism and sobriety. Gritty, sharp, and uncomfortably funny, it's a story about how fast a life can unravel, and what it takes to reclaim control.
