Horse’s Arse (Handstead New Town Mystery #1)
Handstead New Town was a North Manchester overspill and an unholy dump. As only they could, the Police used it as a penal posting. Worst amongst the residents of Handstead were the Tree Top Mafia, a gang of violent thugs who terrorised their neighbourhood, the town and surrounding districts. They, and the officers doomed to serve at Handstead wrestled constantly for dominance. True stoics, the police officers resolved to make a difference in a town they called Horses Arse. Each group recognised something of themselves in the other. Not quite mutual respect, but something.
This is the story of some of those Police officers; The Brothers, Psycho, Bovril, Pizza and others, a group of hooligans in uniform and their journey through manic excess, despair and finally some form of salvation. Police officers like these used to exist but their like have passed on. Only accounts like this one serve to remind us that once upon a time, police officers just got on with policing.
Foxtrot Oscar (Handstead New Town Mystery #2)
It’s 1976 and England is sweating its nuts off. As an unrelenting heat wave beats down on the nation, the residents of Horse’s Arse – aka Handstead New Town, north Manchester – are reaching melting point. The Park Royal Mafia, having recovered from the loss of its senior members, is under new management and open for the business of mindless violence again. Unfortunately their antics have attracted the attention of a psychotic Turkish gangster, who’s decided the Mafia is just what he needs to pull himself to the top of the criminal heap.
And wading into the middle of it are the Grim Brothers, Psycho, Pizza, Ally – Horse’s Arse’s finest and the hardestboiled coppers you’ll ever meet. With this lot hot under the collar it’s all going to end in blood, (a lot of) sweat and tears.
Bravo Jubilee (Handstead New Town Mystery #3)
Summer 1977: It’s no holiday in the sun in Handstead New Town, a north Manchester overspill. Known to the local cops as Horse’s Arse, it’s preparing to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. But with football violence, rampant police hooliganism and an expanding LSD market – there’ll be a riot going on…
Local gangster, Sercan Ozdemir has under-estimated DCI Harrison, head of the CID. Blood on the floor in an interview room is all in a day’s work for him. And Ozdemir knows that if his crime family discover he’s been doing his own thing, they’ll pull his face off. Meanwhile the uniform cops, Psycho, Pizza, The Brothers, Ally and the others, hurl the rule book out of the window and continue to hold the tide of criminal scum at bay for as long as they can in a town they despise…
Two Tribes (Handstead New Town Mystery #4)
