On the streets of the tough Dublin inner-city neighbourhood where he grew up, Gerard Hutch was perceived as an ordinary decent criminal, a quintessential Robin Hood figure who fought the law - and won. To the rest of the world he was an elusive criminal godfather called the Monk: an enigmatic criminal mastermind and the hunted leader of one side in the deadliest gangland feud in Irish criminal history. The latest book from Ireland' s leading crime writer Paul Williams reveals the inside story of Hutch' s war with former allies the Kinahan cartel and how the once untouchable crime boss became a fugitive on the run from the law and the mob - with a EURO1 million bounty on his head. The Monk is an enthralling account of the rise and fall of a modern-day gangster charting the violent journey of an impoverished kid from the ghetto to the top tier of gangland - until it all went wrong.
