TRIPLE-TAP

Ex Detective Chief Inspector 'Sandy' Sanderson may have been gored to death by his own guard dogs but it was still murder. An unknown marksman 'The Last Tramp' is compiling a roll call of the dead. Old mysteries and conspiracies have violently resurfaced and threaten former policemen gangsters and mercenaries unaware of their part in a history best not told; DI Andy Wallace a displaced Scotsman of misplaced humour; Edgar Marshall private soldier survivor of an Angolan prison from Hell; 'Mad' Lennie Lester 1960's gangster torturer wrongly convicted of the murder of his old Boss Jack 'Handle' Stein who's ghost has returned to haunt them. Only the cold-blooded extraction of the 'grisly secrets of gruesome old men' from the Fat American may save them. But a heavy price must be paid as a terrible truth awaits them on a South London sink estate primed to explode with racial tension.
