| Book Description | The Painter is the no holds barred, unflinching true story of a man from a London council estate who chose to become a hitman for a notorious and very well connected criminal underworld 'fixer'. His story is one of hardship, bad luck and tragedy, but is never sentimental, romantic or apologetic. In turns it is extremely violent, thrilling, funny, amoral, explosive and charming. It is also an authentic look at organized crime that avoids cliches and the glamorization of those who are in the business of killing to protect their interests.From his upbringing to his first kill and his rise as a hitman to his ingenious plan to legitimize his earnings, we see our anti-hero become obsessed with being the very best he can be. We see his relationship with the mysterious, 'Uncle', blossom to the point where both men are bound to each other by their murderous collaborations. We are introduced to the character of 'H', who can only be described as a man who simply won't take 'no' for an answer and spends his life jumping from one piece of graft to another without ever pausing for breath.Written verbatim using the words of the hitman himself, The Painter is a colourful portrait of very well organized crime and the tactics used when vast amounts of money are at stake.The Painter is a politically incorrect riot of unapologetic violence that will have you looking at historical criminal underworld executions in a new light.As our Anti Hero says, "I will never be a victim ... I create victims."“Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue."Washington Irving |
