'The Devil plays games, that's all I can tell you.' Steven Mason is six feet under. The only problem? He's not dead. After escaping from the doom and gloom of low-life gangsterism on a rundown Essex housing estate, Steven had hoped to pursue a new life in the Mediterranean. But his former world of corruption and greed is not so easily set aside, and he is drawn into yet another nefarious job. Now, trapped with no means of escape, he is left to ponder why he keeps being drawn closer and closer to Hell. Praise for The Dead Hand of Dominique: 'An enjoyable, fast-paced slice of Brit Grit taking place in the wilds of Essex and London... busy, violent, funny, dark, and quirky.' 'The Dead Hand of Dominique is an enjoyable romp through the murky criminal underworld of Essex and London, in the company of some memorable characters.' 'This book was a wild ride. I really enjoyed the mystery of it all. I loved how I never knew who I could or couldn't trust and the ending was perfect.'
