Description
Kandinsky's life is at rock-bottom. He's a gambler in debt to a vicious
loan-shark and he's going nowhere fast. Then, by chance, he overhears a
conversation and realises he has a way out of his mess. He decides to
hijack a robbery of seven hundred and fifty grand's worth of drug money.
He thinks it's going to be easy - a sure thing.
But
when your partners are even bigger losers than you are, and the owner
of the money is a sadistic drug-dealer who's prepared to kill everybody
in his way, nothing's ever easy. And when the people you've stolen from
want a piece of you too, the only thing that's sure is there's going to
be blood. And lots of it.
The Gamblers is a dark, fast-moving and
violent odyssey through the Bristol underworld - the kind of place
where every smile hides a betrayal and the hand of friendship usually
carries a gun. The Gamblers is a vicious British noir in the tradition
of Derek Raymond and Ted Lewis.
