When former Green Beret Paul Kavanagh gets an offer to steal a shipment of tactical nuclear weapons from the U.S. government, he finds himself a partner with the cold eyes of a trained killer who's just as dangerous--if not more so--than Kavanagh.
A stunning, mind-bending warning against the danger of joining gangs, Paul Kavanagh's debut novel is a James Joyce-esque romp through the life of anti-hero Henry, lover of beauty, literature and drinking, an unforgettable journey into and out of one man's consciousness. Linguistically rich and unapologetically experimental, The Killing of a Bank Manager is a true original. It is the perfect antidote to beach reading.

There is a deadly code of conduct that operates beyond the boundaries of the everyday. It's a world where anger, strength, and terrifying ferocity must be controlled with total precision and perfect timing. It is an art known to only a few. In this unique project, Kate Kray has met such men and talked to them on their own ground. They have opened up to her, told her their stories--the hunger and poverty they have endured as kids with crime and violence on every street corner, a world where it's a thin line between survival and the cold slab in the city mortuary. With integrated photographs, the portraits of these men reveal not only their awesome and terrifying presence, their power and brutal strength, but their underlying humanity and dignity too. The result of this collaboration is a revelation--portraits in words and pictures of tough guys who are smooth, loaded, and hard as rock. Men who have gone to the brink, and have survived to turn their lives around to tell their tale.
