Produktbeschreibung

A young boxer, ready for the fight of his life. A murderous crime syndicate, wanting a piece of him. An ex-cop and his family, putting their lives on the line to save their own.

When Terry Hawkins gets a shot at the British welterweight title his whole family and community are electrified - until a powerful crime syndicate moves in and starts calling the shots.

Terry finds himself threatened and alone, but can tell his family nothing if he is to keep them alive. As the fight draws near, the thugs up the stakes and take control.

But they have underestimated the rage and resilience of the boxer's uncle, ex-London copper Harry 'H' Hawkins. As Terry buckles under the pressure and the storm clouds gather, H gets on the front foot.

But time is short - can H identify and track down the men responsible for the terror and destruction raining down on his family before his loved ones start to die?

Can he juggle this with the impending death of his father, his struggle with an old adversary aiming to bring him to public disgrace and imprisonment, and his attempt to give his nephew a fighting chance of coming through in one piece?

Autorenporträt

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.
