GBH

A NEW EDITION OF A CRIME MASTERWORK FROM THE AUTHOR OF GET CARTER

British crime icon Ted Lewiss GBH is an unnerving tale of paranoia and madness in the heart of Londons 1970s criminal underworld.
Ted Lewis is one of Englands finest, but still most neglected post-war writers

George Fowler heads a lucrative london-based criminal syndicate that specializes in illegal pornography. Fowler is king, with a beautiful woman at his side and a swanky penthouse office, but his world is in jeopardy. Someone is undermining his empire from within, and Fowler becomes increasingly ruthless in his pursuit of the unknown traitor, trusting an ever-smaller set of advisers.

Juxtaposed with the terror and violence of Fowlers last days in London is the flash-forward narrative of his hideout bunker in a tiny English beach town, where he skulks during the off-season, trying to salvage his fallen empire. Just as it seems possible for Fowler to rise again, another trigger may cause his total, irreparable unravelling.
