Nicky
Burkett is back!
Walthamstow's
wide boy is minding his business, chatting his
mates and wanting a quiet life. But what happens?
He is witness to a stabbing in the dole queue,
then a shooting in the street, then a whacking
with an iron bar outside the boozer. It all gets
very troublesome indeed.
The police
make Nicky an offer. They want to set him up as
a grass. The problem is that Lithuanians are taking
over the local crime scene. The geezer who got
stabbed was a Lithuanian. The geezers who did
the stabbing were Lithuanian . Nicky is caught
in the middle of them and the police reckon he
can bring them all in. For a fee of course.
