Synopsis
Nicky Burkett finds his childhood friend Vinnie dead at the bottom of a tower block, feet sawn off. He and his mates have a code of conduct which makes revenge inevitable. They have to find the villains - much more serious criminals than themselves - and they have to take them on. The first entry in Jeremy Cameron's Nicky Burkett series, originally published in 1995, fuses crime noir, revenge thriller and comic caper with a rare level of social commentary, vividly transporting the reader to the mean streets of North East London. Vinnie Got Blown Away marks a turning point in British crime writing. Funny and violent, it turns away from the traditional murder mystery among the middle classes. It revolves instead around the dispossessed, the petty criminals, the local boys. It mixes without discrimination among black, white and Asian communities, following their speech patterns - cockney and Caribbean unite - and demonstrates their resilience and ability to survive all outside pressures and values. Featuring a cast of characters from bent coppers and exasperated parole officers to every conceivable variety of gangster, hoodlum, wide boy and pusher, the novel races to a bloodthirsty climax that reads like an unholy hybrid of Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino, with Chandleresque dialogue that sizzles off the page. As fresh and funny as it was on its initial release, Vinnie Got Blown Away a defining novel of the London crime noir canon, and a treat for crime lovers seeking authenticity as well as thrills.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
