Summary

When legendary old school villain Paul Massey immersed himself in the murky world of his modern-day counterparts, he was executed with a machine gun on the drive of his home. Contained within this audiobook is his story.

It is a story that will horrify the non-criminal mind and lay bare how Massey unwittingly became the architect of his own demise. Massey was not the only casualty of a toxic feud that had ignited between two Salford gangs following the most trivial of disputes. John Kinsella, a close friend of Massey's, was gunned down in front of his pregnant partner. A seven-year-old boy and his mother were shot, a hand grenade was hurled through the front window of a family home, an attempt was made to behead a man with a machete, and an orgy of beatings, stabbings, kidnappings, and shootings were carried out in the name of respect.

In today’s underworld, the old school criminal code has been confined to the bin. Being known as a hard man once demanded respect, but no more. Guns, and having the mindset to use one, often for little or no reason, has become the norm. Drugs are the currency, and death often the penalty for a discrepancy or misdemeanour. It is an unforgiving world that Paul Massey helped to create, and a world that ultimately resulted in his death.

Not all of Manchester is like this, the story was true in parts and accurate in parts, but it makes a good story and was well presented, a very good read/ listen, I know some boys from that area and yeah they can get a bit rough, but generally they’re stand up guys, after all it’s the Manc way

Probably the worst narrator I’ve come across, mispronounces simple words and was delivered extremely emotionless

In-depth recounting of the Salford feuds, terrible narrator

A really good story, well told without any annoying “voice overs” or accents.
Really had me hooked and sailed through it in a weekend.
Well written and remaining mainly impartial this tells the tale of gang warfare in Salford whilst building characters for you to understand their life style.
Very well written and narrated. Highly recommended.

Engaging, enthralling and interesting
