Description
Book SynopsisNow a major film directed by Idris Elba, Yardie by Victor Headley shines a light on the brutal underworld of 90s London gang culture.
At Heathrow Airport’s busy immigration desk, a newly arrived Jamaican strolls through with a kilo of top-grade cocaine strapped to his body. And keeps on walking . . .
By the time the syndicate get to hear about the missing consignment, D is in business – for himself – as the Front Line’s newest don.
But D’s treachery will never be forgotten – or forgiven. The message filters down from the Yardie crime lords to their soldiers on the streets:
Find D. Find the merchandise. And make him pay for his sins . . .
