Jack Carter's Law (Jack Carter Trilogy Book 2)

With an Introduction by Max Allan Collins

The author of Get Carter returns to his greatest invention, a smooth-operating hardcase named Jack Carter, who is about to burn a city down in order to silence an informant

London. The late 1960s. It's Christmastime and Jack Carter is the top man in a crime syndicate headed by two brothers, Gerald and Les Fletcher. Heâ€™s also a worried man. The fact that heâ€™s sleeping with Geraldâ€™s wife, Audrey, and that they plan on someday running away together with a lot of the brothersâ€™ money, doesnâ€™t have Jack concerned. Instead itâ€™s an informantâ€”one of his own menâ€”that has him losing sleep. The grass has enough knowledge about the firm to not only bring down Gerald and Les but Jack as well. Jack doesnâ€™t like his name in the mouth of that sort.

In Jack Carterâ€™s Law Ted Lewis returned to the character that launched his career and once again delivered a hardboiled masterpiece. Jack Carter is the ideal tour guide to a bygone London underworld. In his quest to dismantle the opposition, he peels back the veneer of English society and offers a hard look at a gritty world of pool halls, strip clubs and the red lights of Soho nightlife.
