Stunning review of Dimebag Bandits from the UK

This review is from: Dimebag Bandits (Kindle Edition)

A wonderful read which reminded me of True Detective in its laconic style, warts and all characters and edgy drama, albeit told from the other side of the badge. The main characters engage you first, before the story really gets going, but get going it does along back roads of speed freak heists, crooked ministers and child porn, dealing with difficult subjects without being gratuitous or overly sentimental. Another thing worthy of mention is how the environment, often overlooked, plays an equally important part in the book, being used to great atmospheric effect but also shaping the characters and their actions.
It’s a cliché free read about the low rent drug scene. There's no glamour here, but there is warmth amongst the pain and darkness. Even people from this world can have a moral compass and this one faces north.
