The author of Get Carter returns to his greatest invention, a smooth-operating hardcase named Jack Carter, who is about to burn a city down in order to silence an informant. . . London. The late 1960s. It' s Christmas and Jack Carter' s the top man in a crime syndicate headed by two brothers, Gerald and Les Fletcher. He' s also a worried man. The fact that he' s sleeping with Gerald' s wife, Audrey, and that they plan on someday running away together with a lot of the brothers' money, doesn' t have Jack concerned. Instead it' s an informant - one of his own men - that has him losing sleep. The grass has enough knowledge about the firm to not only bring down Gerald and Les but Jack as well. Jack doesn' t like his name in the mouth of that sort.
PRAISE FOR TED LEWIS; ' Carter is no hero, killing rival villains without compunction, manipulating one and all (male or female) to his advantage. But he does have a darkly contagious sense of humor, and his observing eye is keen and mean, as always' - Wall Street Journal; ' An example of how dangerous writing can really be when it is done properly. . . Ted Lewis' s writing proves that he never ran away from the page. Because with Lewis, the page was the battle' - Derek Raymond; ' Ted Lewis is one of the most influential crime novelists Britain has ever produced, and his shadow falls on all noir fiction, whether on page or screen, created on these isles since his passing. I wouldn' t be the writer I am without Ted Lewis. It' s time the world rediscovered him' - Stuart Neville; ' Ted Lewis cuts to the bone' - James Sallis; ' When it comes to dealing with your actual hard man, no one does it better than the late, great Ted Lewis' - John L Williams
Born in Manchester, England, Ted Lewis (1940-1982) spent most of his youth in Barton-upon-Humber in the north of England. After graduating from Hull Art School, Lewis moved to London and first worked in advertising before becoming an animation specialist, working on the Beatles' Yellow Submarine. His novels are the product of his lifelong fascination with the criminal lifestyle of London' s Soho district and the down-and-out lifestyle of the English factory town. Lewis' novels pioneered the British noir school. He authored nine novels, the second of which was famously adapted in 1971 as the now iconic Get Carter, which stars Michael Caine.
