Yardie (Paperback) - Victor Headley

Now a major film directed by Idris Elba, Yardie is a brutal depiction of the drug-fuelled Yardie gang wars of 90s London by Victor Headley.

Now a major film directed by Idris Elba, Yardie by Victor Headley shines a light on the brutal underworld of 90s London gang culture.

At Heathrow Airport's busy immigration desk, a newly arrived Jamaican strolls through with a kilo of top-grade cocaine strapped to his body. And keeps on walking . . .

By the time the syndicate get to hear about the missing consignment, D is in business - for himself - as the Front Line's newest don.

But D's treachery will never be forgotten - or forgiven. The message filters down from the Yardie crime lords to their soldiers on the streets:

Find D. Find the merchandise. And make him pay for his sins . . .
