'Gangsters, Geezers and Mods' by Stephen Pennell available on Kindle from Amazon

 


Steve, Rebecca and Baggy are the products of tough upbringings in the working class inner-city district of Aston, Birmingham, in the late twentieth century. All three set out on a life of crime as teenagers, and although they are often accomplices, there is a rivalry between Steve and Baggy that stems from a minor incident in their youth. Many comical and chaotic adventures follow as they hustle their way through life, participating in the fierce conflict between Aston Villa and Birmingham City fans and interacting with the culture around them, but things become more sinister when a legendary local underworld figure enters their lives and changes things forever. When Steve’s relationship with Rebecca ends abruptly, he meets Kerri during a successful con-trick and a whirlwind romance ensues which leads to the moment that every young man dreads - the meeting with his girlfriend’s father. Meanwhile, Baggy embarks on a relationship that adds even more tension to the rivalry between the two men. Steve goes on to great success with the help of partner-in-crime Hands of Stone, before a chain of increasingly sinister events leads to the return of a figure from the past and a violent, tense finale. Who will come out on top?
