Billy Riley, Paperback / softback Book

Billy Riley Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Fresh out of prison after five years, debt collector and one-time enforcer Billy Riley heads back to his council estate home with wife Eileen. But things have changed since he's been away. The local kids run around in gangs terrorising the neighbours with random drug deals and drive-by shootings. Respect for the old criminal hierarchy is gone. And turning 40 inside hasn't helped. His best years are behind him, future opportunities slipping away.


A chance meeting with the daughter of an old friend provides an unexpected link with the past. Then there's the documentary film crew that turn up on the scene asking questions, hoping to entice him into the glamorous world of reality TV. Pride and a strong sense of destiny make it hard to resist. He could give it a go. Have a crack at the big time that's always eluded him.


But plans are harder to make than promises.

People tend to resurface and get in the way.
