MEET JOHN KENNEDY! "Breaking Bad meets John Wick. The chief protagonist in the series is Belfast-born, morally malleable anti-hero John Kennedy who gets sucked into the murky underworld of the lucrative drug scene." The Irish Post "John Kennedy is a character who is alive to the many, many readers who have followed his story." The BBC Arts Show "John is like a Bryan Mills, John Wick, kind of hybrid, but he is a true hard man in his own right." Alex J Book Reviews "Highly readable combination of lean prose, tight plotting and wince-inducing ultra-violent mayhem...daringly near-the-knuckle." The Irish News An absolutely gripping thriller you won't be able to put down. "Brutal, visceral and totally engrossing. Drug Gang is well researched and well-written. Neil Walker takes the reader into the world of violent crime with a gripping story that is hard-edged and totally believable. The short chapters and easy style make this a page-turner and a few loose threads at the end leave the reader wanting more... and the good news is that there are more books in the series. 5 very violent and gritty Stars!" Murray Bailey, author of Map of the Dead "Read it cover to cover and absolutely could not put it down. Exciting, violent, filled with suspense...it was quite possibly the best novel I've read this year." Logan Magnone, author of The Hunt for Jenx Vargough "I'm always wary of media that boasts controversy or disturbing content and the like, however 'Drug Gang' IS both compelling and easily controversial. What transpires may surprise you. I'm definitely eager to see what happens in the next installment." Sahreth Baphy Bowden, author of Visitor's Blood "Violent, noirish and gritty. Tarantino-esque flavor. The violence in here isn't exactly gratuitous; instead, it defines the genre and mood." Anya Pavelle, author of The Moon Hunters "The storytelling really caught me. Definitely worth a read!" Iridescent Books Blog "An interesting and refreshing read. Not for the fainthearted and if you're ready to dive into the crime world, so be it." One Word Too Much "This book is a tour de force. It's a massively cool, urban, dark, powerful, disturbing and shocking book. It's got its Quentin Tarantino vibe, you think Natural Born Killers & Reservoir Dogs. This should be made into a movie. I need the next 2 parts in the trilogy right now!"
