E V Scarbrow

Wannabes E V Scarbrow

It's 1999 and Kenny Titmus is living with his reclusive father in a squalid flat. Tired of his miserable existence, he decides he is going to be master of his own destiny. And after he's collected his giro one day, eaten his fish and chips and headed off to the pub, a chance conversation with the local hard men, offers him the opportunity he's been waiting for. He's catapulted into the underbelly of society, a world of protection rackets, drug-dealers, murderers, sex crimes, double-crossers, police corruption, henchmen, gang warfare, the Mafia and paedophilia. And he's quickly transformed from a Wannabe to a fully-fledged glorified gangster with a stomach for violence, a cool, aloof manner and unshakeable confidence. At last he is going to be somebody and he and his crew of half-wits, thugs and violent hot heads, become a force to be reckoned with... that is until he treads on Vinnie Bentley's toes. The local gang boss is already at the helm of the East London patch, and he doesn't like upstarts or wannabes. Will Kenny prove his worth or will Vinnie Bentley and his family kick him back to where he came from? And how many people will have to die in the process? All will be revealed in this incredibly dark, gritty and action-packed crime thriller.
