Synopsis
Organised crime, gangland turf war, hijacking, shoot outs, betrayal and violent death provides the backdrop to this riveting new novel Checkers - co-authored by Alex Wheatle and Mark Parham. As with his other critically acclaimed books (East of Acre Lane and Brixton Rock) Wheatle uses the south London landscape as the backbeat for this modern day tale of gangland crime in inner city London, while Parham depicts the East End in with an authentic cutting edge. In Checkers, the pair have put together a page turner of a novel which tells the story of ambitious crime boss Careful Eddie Maynard, who entices two opposing gangs to work together to high-jack a plane containing contra band over the Thames Estuary. The touch paper is lit on the night of the hijacking when Maynard is later found dead - and the contra band is nowhere to be found...what happened to the gangland boss and, more importantly, where is the missing contra band? It is at this point that Wheatle and Parham set the scene for turbulent retribution with a turf war like no other. After all, When South and East London collide, there can be no prisoners- only corpses.
