      A story for this generation . . . written with love, passion and intelligence Benjamin Zephaniah This is a long story and a bitter one, but I will try to tell it as honestly as I can, because I ve come to understand that what happened wasn t all my brother s fault. Nor Lance s for that matter, nor Quin s. No I was as much to blame as any of them. More so, probably, because, in the end, it was my hand on the knife. After a gang feud claims its first life, violence escalates. But then the prophetic words of a strange old baglady start to come true, and Art and the girl he loves have one chance to make good, one chance to bring honour and peace to a murderous world. Fierce, tender and unflinching, Knight Crew breathes the passions of ancient legend into a contemporary wasteland passions that can either create or destroy.

It also asks important questions and requires the reader to interrogate her or himself...It's an absolute tour de force.' The Book Bag 20180529
