Bastard

Works of: Fiction

Gritty, twisted and darkly hilarious, Bastard is a relentless crime thriller about justice, violence and what happens when one man takes it on himself to put the world straight – one beating at a time.

Meet our narrator. He’s rich. He’s bored. He’s addicted to people-watching. And he’s an unapologetic bastard. But when this sharp-eyed loner starts spotting even bigger bastards; the abusive, the violent, the racist, he doesn’t just watch. He acts. With fists. With fury. With lessons no one forgets.

Then he makes one mistake. He kills the wrong man, a prick in a suit with connections. Deadly ones. Suddenly he’s caught in a criminal web that stretches from gang bosses to cartel players to corrupt corridors of power.

Forced into a game where everyone’s lying, everyone’s watching and the only rule is survival, he must decide what kind of bastard he really is.
