Publisher's Synopsis
Good Friday, 1977. Merthyr Tydfil. At twenty to midnight a dozen different forces converge - Macky, just out of jail; the gippos and their knives; the Shop Boys, fifty or sixty skinheads in fanatical pursuit of recreational violence; P. C. Phillips, the young copper with something to prove; Mohan Singh, proud owner of the Taj Mahal curry house. The result: mayhem. 'RACE RIOT ERUPTS IN VALLEYS TOWN'. And witness to it all, Davey Daunt, a spazzy with a leg brace, the only one who knows what really happened.
