AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'No one challenged Joe Foster in life, not if they valued theirs. And then, the gangster is slain, his criminal empire up for grabs.

'A power vacuum; the Foster family is fighting for control, the other gangs in the area aiming to poach the trade in illegal drugs, to carve up the empire that the father had created.

'It has all the makings of a war on the streets, something nobody wants, not even the other gangs.

'Terry Foster, the eldest son of Joe, the man who should take control, doesn't have the temperament of his father, nor the wisdom. His solution is slash and burn, and it's not going to work, and people are going to get hurt, some of them are going to die.' (Publication summary)
