A Terrifying Expose of the British Drugs Scene ESSEX BOYS is the brand new edition of the shocking bestseller known as SO THIS IS ECSTASY'. It is the true story of the rise of one of the most violent and successful criminal gangs of the 90's whose reign of terror was finally terminated when the three leaders were brutally murdered in their Range Rover one winter's evening. On their way they had built the drug-dealing organisation that which supplied the pill that killed Leah Betts. They were responsible for a wave of intimidation, beatings and murder. Until, it seems, they took one step too far. Now there is compelling evidence that the men convicted of shooting the dead men are innocent. Which means the real murderers are still at large. Bernard O'Mahoney was a key member of what has been one of the most feared gangs of the decade. His inside account of their cold-blooded violence revea
Jay Dobyns voksede op i en helt almindelig familie. Han havde sunde interesser og var ganske dygtig til at spille amerikansk fodbold. Der var intet i hans baggrund, som pegede hen imod, at han en dag skulle sidde overskrævs på sin mægtige Harley-Davidson iført en vest med et af de mest frygtede rygmærker i den vestlige verden: Hells Angels grinende kranie. Men Jay er heller ikke den, hans 'brødre' tror, han er. I virkeligheden er han undercoverbetjent. Jay Dobyns er den første politimand, som nogensinde har infiltreret verdens mest kendte biker-klub. I næsten to år levede og åndede han som et ægte medlem af bikernes voldelige verden, og snart var han mere fortrolig med at smuggle våben, smadre modstandere og køre motorcykel end med at tilbringe hyggelige stunder sammen med familien. Han blev kendt som 'Bird', og han levede i bevidstheden om, at den mindste mistanke ville koste ham livet.
Evie Boyd fascineres af en gruppe frisindede piger, og bliver herefter trukket ind i en kult ledet af en tvivlsom, men stærkt karismatisk fyr. Baseret på historien om Charles Manson Titel: Pigerne Genre: Historisk Sammendrag: Sådan begynder Evie Boyds beretning om sommeren 1969 i Californien. Det er i parken, at Evie får øje på pigerne, en gruppe unge kvinder, der udstråler fandenivoldskhed, frihed og en farlig aura af vildskab. Da hun nogle dage senere møder en af dem, Suzanne, tager hun med ud på den ranch, hvor den karismatiske Russell bor med sin 'storfamilie', unge kvinder, der vil gøre alt for ham. Evie drages ind i Russells tryllekreds, og først da det er for sent, indser hun, at det vil få katastrofale konsekvenser. Pigerne bygger løseligt på historien om Charles Manson og de mord, han fik sine kvindelige følgere til at begå i slutningen af 1960'erne. Type: Paperback
