Jammed Up — Steven Hayward

Loyalty. Betrayal. Injustice. A rudeboy never forgets. It's been ten long years and ‘Jam' has been working his way through a list of men who tormented his best-friend, Jabba. Now there's only one name left to cross off… When he takes an easy lookout job for criminal entrepreneur, Herbert Long, he knows something's not quite right. Knock-off gear and bent coppers have never been his bag, but the money's good and he doesn't want to live with his aunt forever. All he has to do is get down to the depot, watch a handover and report back what he sees. Little does he know what he's getting himself and Jabba in to. He's not the only one nervous about the deal, DI Terence Pinner needs this to go off smoothly to settle a debt that has him enslaved to South London gangster Raymond Riggs. But with so many people involved and serious money at stake, things get messy very quickly. Out of his depth and up against an organised criminal gang, Jam has to learn fast to stay alive. But if there's one thing that keeps him going, it's thoughts of sweet revenge...
