Andrew Barnes • British Comic Crime Fiction • 1980s Somerset
Welcome to the Dodge City Chronicles
Crime was never supposed to be this funny.
Renton, Deggsy, Django and me — four blokes on the wrong side of an honest living, in a Somerset that's a lot stranger than the postcards make out. Bad decisions. Questionable plans. And the occasional attempt to make some money without doing anything too respectable. If you like your crime capers funny, your dialogue sharp, and your criminals more chaotic than menacing — then you're in the right place.
