Description
Dennis Huggins drifts into the easy, dangerous life of the shotta - or drug dealer - in Brixton, twenty years after the race riots. As he navigates this world, he discovers that the struggle for respect on the streets is hard, but the struggle for love is even harder. For Dennis and his friends, there are no positive influences or moral codes to guide them. Their only 'family' is their fellow dealers. This is a fast-paced novel that tackles difficult questions without offering easy answers. Alex Wheatle's portrayal of life in London's 'Dirty South' is both compelling and thought-provoking, making for a gripping read.
