By the international bestselling author of 'Get Carter', Ted Lewis was one of England's finest postwar writers and here is a new edition of this crime masterwork. Lewis 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 and it's Christmas. Jack Carter is the top man in a crime syndicate headed by two brothers, Gerald and Les Fletcher. He's also a worried man. The fact that he's sleeping with Gerald's wife Audrey, and that they plan on someday running away together with a lot of the brothers' money, doesn't have Jack concerned. Instead it's an informant, one of his own men, that has him losing sleep. The grass has enough knowledge about the firm not only to bring down Gerald and Les, but Jack as well, and Jack doesn't like his name in the mouth of that sort. Carter kills rival villains without compunction and manipulates one and all, male or female to his advantage. These are mean streets. 220pp, paperback.
