Description
Bent by Joe Thomas is a gripping story about the rise and fall of SAS commando and notorious Detective Sergeant Harold 'Tanky' Challenor. During World War II, Challenor was parachuted behind enemy lines into Italy and France, performing remarkable feats of bravery. In 1960s Soho, he navigated a complex web of club owners, racketeers, and informers. As Challenor's past catches up with him, he must confront the protection gang that has a grip on his manor. The line between heroism and villainy becomes increasingly blurred. With its vivid prose and atmospheric setting, Bent is a stylish and visceral tale of crime and corruption. Joe Thomas's writing style has been praised for its originality and energy, drawing comparisons to authors like David Peace and early Pinter. This book is a worthwhile read for fans of modern noir fiction.
