The World Belongs to Jane & Me – Part #1: 1963 (Signed)
The second novel from A. D. Stranik of The Broadway Twisters and The Silver Brazilians.
Teenage Teddy Boy, Jonny Arnold, escapes the hell of the Welsh coalmines for the bright lights of 50s London in a quest to become the greatest wrestler the world has ever seen.
Five years later, London is yet to swing and all Jonny has to show for his efforts are a shotgun marriage, jail time and total rejection from wrestling’s head honchos.
He’s going nowhere fast or slow until, that is, pornographer ‘Flash’ Nicky Nash comes to the rescue with his connections, criminal cavalry… and the loan of a Ford Cortina.
Now, Jonny’s on the up and up, but a past indiscretion comes a-calling and his dubious associations are about to backfire… violently.
The World Belongs to Jane & Me – Part #1: 1963 is the first of a trilogy of Brit-Grit crime novels inspired by the life of The ‘Exotic’ Adrian Street and the ‘Golden Age’ of British wrestling of the 60s and 70s. Written in the spirit of Colin MacInnes, Harold Pinter and Ted Lewis – by Monomania, Mon Amour author A D Stranik.
Available from Friday the 1st of November 2024!
