GANG AND MOB

An offbeat heist novel

After a life-time of hit-and-miss heists, the Boss, a successful East End criminal, is planning a bigger blag.

To pull it off, he has to knock a gormless gang of petty crooks into shape. While the Boss orchestrates his plan from a hotel in Spain, the band of boneheads starts to reveal hidden talents under the management of Lizzie, his linchpin back in London.

As the dodgy fruits of the Boss’s Spanish scheme start rolling in, there’s one big question: will his plan succeed or are they all destined to return to shoplifting in discount supermarkets and forever dreaming about the big time?

Taking the form of seven meetings in various makeshift office locations, this novel blends suspense and humour – exploring the roles of luck, ambition and the unflagging belief that stolen money is the sweetest.
