'A thumping debut from a barnstorming new talent.'

Danny King

 

After Billy Reeves had survived a poverty ridden and violent childhood on a council estate in Newcastle he thought he had it all; a loving family, money and respect but a face from the past with a point to prove and muscles to flex is out to bring  his world crashing down on him.
 
After turning down the offer of a job with Tyneside’s most paranoid  and psychotic gang lord he’s faced with bent police, a corrupt judge, an army of bouncers and the knowledge that if he makes one wrong move in this game of cat and mouse his family will end up imprisoned, abused or worse.
 
Billy is going to have to work very hard just to keep everyone he cares about alive and that means the gloves are coming off...
  

'Another fantastic hit with a whole bunch of stories not to be missed. Within these pages you will find gem after gem.'

Sheila Quigley

Byker Books Make Double Signing of Exciting New Talent

 

Byker Books are delighted to announce the acquisitions of all rights to ‘Dumb Luck’ and ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’  two edgy, fierce novels from the pens of rising stars Tom Arnold and Andy Rivers.

 

The pair were signed at the recent launch event for the fourth volume of the cult ‘Radgepacket’ series by the Commissioning Editor for Byker Books. ‘We are very pleased to have captured both of these authors. They have both produced excellent works that stay true to our ethos of grimy, council estate stories and, while they are both crime fiction novels, they are very different in approach. ‘Dumb Luck’ is a high octane, fast paced ride through the London that tourists never see and ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ is an almost Machiavellian tale of politics, greed and corruption in Newcastle’s underworld.

 

‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ will be released in July  2010 with ‘Dumb Luck’ to follow in October 2010.
