Summary

When legendary old school villain Paul Massey immersed himself in the murky world of his modern-day counterparts, he was executed with a machine gun on the drive of his home. Contained within this audiobook is his story.

It is a story that will horrify the non-criminal mind and lay bare how Massey unwittingly became the architect of his own demise. Massey was not the only casualty of a toxic feud that had ignited between two Salford gangs following the most trivial of disputes. John Kinsella, a close friend of Massey's, was gunned down in front of his pregnant partner. A seven-year-old boy and his mother were shot, a hand grenade was hurled through the front window of a family home, an attempt was made to behead a man with a machete, and an orgy of beatings, stabbings, kidnappings, and shootings were carried out in the name of respect.

In today’s underworld, the old school criminal code has been confined to the bin. Being known as a hard man once demanded respect, but no more. Guns, and having the mindset to use one, often for little or no reason, has become the norm. Drugs are the currency, and death often the penalty for a discrepancy or misdemeanour. It is an unforgiving world that Paul Massey helped to create, and a world that ultimately resulted in his death.

I felt the story was at times drifting away from Paul Massey himself. No offence to the narrator but hearing a story being told with someone with a lisp doesn't do it for me.

Bernard O’Mahoney is the leading true crime writer of our day. He weaves the characters & story so well that you feel like you are there, observing. His writing is almost clinical in it’s factualisation, yet there is deep warmth & humour also. Bernard recreates real life characters in 3D, fully rounded & pumping & makes for a smashing read or listen. Addictive.

Meticulous & Unbiased
