About the book

When old school friends, Lee, Mal, Ged and Sam decided to make some easy money, nothing could have prepared them for the catalogue of disasters that were soon to follow.

Robbing a supermarket should have been an easy job, nothing could possibly go wrong, but it did. With one of them wounded and a dead body on their hands, could matters get any worse?

They should have known that a small supermarket on a Manchester estate wouldn't make that much money, they should have known that the aisles of tinned tomatoes and loss leaders was just a cover up for something a lot more dangerous. But they didn't know. They had no idea that as small fish they had unwittingly plunged into a very big pond and were now swimming with the great whites' of the criminal underworld.

The shop they robbed, their ticket to an easy life, was merely THE FRONT for something very big indeed.
