A cross continental crime thriller set in urban London and Andalucia. Plenty of English dark comedy, accidents, chaos, murder, mystery, deceit and twisted fate. The books anti-hero Davey Regan grows up in the 70’s and is a mischievous character who makes his own dark and sometimes disturbing entertainment along with his best mate Dean. As a teenager, he establishes himself a small time drug dealer in the West End and Camden Town, but it’s not the laid-back tourist hub that most people know. His world is the back street pubs and underground activities of its shady low life and gangsters. In his twenties life takes a different direction, he settles down with his partner and their son but his dark criminal past and contacts sit lurking in the background. Regan gets into serious trouble in Spain and their only chance of survival is to flee the country.
Regan’s partner gets mixed up in her employer’s affairs, her vengeful actions end with dramatic consequences far beyond her initial wishes. They have no choice but to return to the only place they know - London. Regan keeps his head down on unfamiliar ground in the East End, but his dodgy past catches up with him. Blackmailed, he has no choice but to return to Spain one last time.

He has pursued a varied career - from selling toot out of a suitcase on the Portobello Road to working in a war zone in Kosovo /Albania, at present he earns a living as a building surveyor in East London. Travelling has always been a passion, which started at a young age with a trip in a rusty old cargo ship from London to Trinidad. He has spent time in Africa, Asia, South America, The Caribbean and most of Europe. Tim's first book 'Dead Dogs Tunnel' draws heavily on his personal experiences in the UK and Spain. It was written while he lived with his wife in a small fishing town in the bay of Cadiz. He is currently working on his second book, which is another crime thriller that is set in Docklands East London.

    Starts off a bit strange, like the story of two young working class lads in London , growing up in the big city they soon find other things to put their minds to and things start to happen as they get older, not going to say more but well worth the read. some of the editing could have been better but not bad enough to put me off, could not put it down in the end, don't be put off by a slow start, read on.

    A fast paced crime thriller which manages to keep you rooting for a low life chancer. This debut novel is very well paced and the characters are nicely drawn, throughout the macabre tale I found myself wondering why I was still rooting for davey but I was right up until the breakneck climax. The author draws on his influences well and I found myself enjoying the pulp fiction type twists along with the train spotting esque scumbag anti hero. This is the adult only fools and horses with bite. Overall a very entertaining read.

    I really enjoyed this book, It's so rare these days just to get a good fast paced story, most authors spend so much time trying to be clever they forget to tell you whats going on. I did see one review where someone didn't bother to read it bcause they didn't like the standard of grammar, get over yourself, you missed out on a good, fun book.

    This book was a breath of fresh air, I love this genre but of late have been dissapointed with the stale predictable storylines that I have been reading recently.

    This book oozed depth, excitement, humour and suprises that kept me gripped and reading into the small hours of the night as I kept telling myself just one more chapter......

    I would definitely recommend.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Weird
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This strange book is boring but oddly compelling if only to realise the complete absence of grammar, appropriate punctuation and even spelling. It is almost impossible to believe the author is from the UK as it almost seems as though English is not his first language as it is so poorly written. A rambling mess that has clearly not had the benefit of proof reading or editing, something that most people would consider the minimum requirements for any book whether self published or otherwise. I am relieved that the book was free as had it not been, it would been money ill spent. For any would be writer surely some form of literacy has to be present to at least make some of the work at least intelligible. No more please!
