Beschreibung

A nation under attack. Treason stalks the corridors of power. Can Harry Hawkins turn the tide? Harry Hawkins has finally found peace in the bosom of his new family. A loving wife and a new son have given him the contentment he has sought for so long. But then he wakes up one morning to find chaos spreading through the streets of Britain. From warzone-like football matches to terrorist bombs, from large-scale prison breakouts to inexplicable mass street fighting. With fake news dominating the media and the authorities struggling to connect the dots H realizes that his domestic idyll is over. He receives information from a security service whistleblower that key players within the British establishment have been corrupted by those behind the chaos, and are involved in supporting their activities and aims - whatever they may be. As the mounting chaos threatens to pull the country apart H comes to understand that he and his colleagues are in uncharted waters; no one in authority can be trusted and all usual channels of communication are subject to surveillance by Britain's enemies. Can H, and the off-the-radar people's army he puts together, identify the source of the chaos, shut down its operations and help restore order before a climactic outrage brings Britain to its knees? If you like gritty, high-octane novels with terrific twists you'll love Bloody Liberties - let it take you on a thrilling rollercoaster ride through a contemporary world of violent criminality, technological chaos, political intrigue and everyday heroism.

Autor

Roy and Garry Robson are, unsurprisingly, brothers from the Elephant and Castle, south east London.

Their father (variously a pig farmer, cab driver, haulage contractor and general ducker and diver) and mother (homemaker, cook and doctor's receptionist with a well-timed left hook) raised them and their siblings with some old fashioned south London working class values. These included hard work, respect for their elders and a willingness to duck and dive when required.

They have endeavoured, with varying degrees of success, to maintain the values their parents tried to instill in them. One day, whilst enjoying a beer or two, they decided to write a Crime Thriller Series. The gritty, pulsating and stylish London Large series is the result.

Roy lives in Bromley and works as a Service Delivery Manager for an International IT Consultancy. Garry lives in Krakow and is now, of all things, a sociology professor. Both career choices served as a source of confusion and humour to their parents, who were born and raised in the days before computers and sociology professors existed.

Although Harry 'H' Hawkins, the protagonist of the London Large novels, shares some of their old-fashioned values, he is not based upon Garry or Roy, neither of whom would survive the first chapter of a Harry Hawkins novel.
