Product Description

Product Description

Summer 1977: It’s no holiday in the sun in Handstead New Town, a north Manchester overspill. Known to the local cops as Horse’s Arse, it’s preparing to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. But with football violence, rampant police hooliganism and an expanding LSD market - there’ll be a riot going on…

Local gangster, Sercan Ozdemir has under-estimated DCI Harrison, head of the CID. Blood on the floor in an interview room is all in a day’s work for him. And Ozdemir knows that if his crime family discover he’s been doing his own thing, they’ll pull his face off. Meanwhile the uniform cops, Psycho, Pizza, The Brothers, Ally and the others, hurl the rule book out of the window and continue to hold the tide of criminal scum at bay for as long as they can in a town they despise...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner!, 12 Dec 2008
By Matt Holt - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having thoroughly enjoyed every page of the first two books I was overjoyed to source an advance copy of the eagerly awaited Bravo Jubilee! Again the unique Charlie Owen gritty storyline kicks in and the first chapter commands your attention from the off punctuated with more original hilarious similes and scenarios.The characters we know whose personalities are embellished to a point when the reader feels they may have actually met them (or some one like them) in their own experiences.There are dark moments which highlight the author's skill to move from feeling slightly disturbed to fit of uncontrollable laughter.If a Britflick film maker made this properly it would blow all that's gone before out of the water!If you're over 18 and have got a sense of humour one cannot fail to enjoy it! Put it on your Christmas list and if you have not read the first two get them as well you wont be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Bravo Jubilee, 18 Dec 2008
I have just finished the book. Like the two books before, this book is brilliantly written. Once you start on page one, you will simply be engrosed in the book. Charlie Owen is a brilliant writer and I hope that he carries on with this superb series of books. The characters are fabulous and certain sections of the book leave you laughing out very loudly. Brilliant and lets hope he continues to write more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Politically incorrect romp - brilliant, 18 Nov 2009
By Esmor (Ynys Mon, Wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bravo Jubilee (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this novel with all its flaws and gaffes. If you want a ripping police procedural, a kind of Frost meets The Sweeney with a little 'On the Buses' thrown in - then this is the author for you. Pure blast from the past escapism. I have ordered more by Charlie Owen.
