Bastard

The only thing worse than a living bastard is a dead one. And it turns out, in death, Frank O’Toole was the biggest bastard one could imagine…

Meet our narrator. Rich. Bored. Addicted to people watching. And an unapologetic bastard. But when this sharp-eyed loner starts spotting even bigger bastards – the abusive, the violent, the racist – he does more than just watch. He decides to ‘educate’ the bastards on how to behave.

But things take a turn for the worst when he kills the wrong man – a prick in a suit with connections. Deadly ones. Now tangled in London’s criminal web, forced to work for a psychotic gang boss and dragged into a life or death game with players from the Cartel to Westminster, our antihero must decide what kind of bastard he really is.

Gritty, twisted and funny as hell, Bastard is a visceral crime thriller about justice, violence and the trouble with watching life too closely. Because if you go around beating good manners into people, you’d better be prepared to take one hell of a beating yourself.
