Product Description

Product Description

What would you do for seven hundred and fifty grand?

Would you betray your friends? Would you gamble your future? Would you kill?

Four men with dirty pasts and uncertain futures discover just what they're capable of when they have the chance to get their hands on a fortune, in this action-packed noir from the author of The Hunters. They lie, they steal, they double-cross, they kill, and they gamble it all for the big score.

But one thing’s for certain, when the gamble is this big somebody has to lose.

The Gamblers is a powerful, complex, well-plotted crime thriller that makes the most of its gritty British setting. A cast of strong characters spout profane and snappy dialogue at each other and, once experienced, its explosive blood-spattered finale is difficult to forget. It would be a crime to miss it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great thriller by a promising author..! 4 Mar 2013
By Mac Paco
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
"The Gamblers" by Martin Stanley, was the first thriller I read by this great author and I am positively surprised with it. A book packed with pacey action all the way through. It may be a bit violent at times, but hey, that may be the way it is in drugs and money lending circles. I am now looking forward to read more from this author!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gamblers 17 Feb 2012
By John McGee
Format:Kindle Edition
I downloaded this book after a friend on facebook had read and raved about it, it is in the genre of books that I usually read and have read many of this type from various authers both famous and relatively unknown.
The author of this book was unknown to me prior to my friends posting, I have to say that It was one of those books which are very hard to put down and kept me gripped from start to finish, I have been waiting for the chance to read more from Martin and I have just downloaded another of his books " The Hunters " and look forward to reading it asap.
Read this book!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty Crime! 27 Jan 2013
By Paul D Brazill
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Kandisky is a loser. A deadbeat student who is addicted to porn and gambling. He also owes Priest, a gangster, a wad of money and is given a few days to get it together - or else.

Liam is a drug dealer who finds out his long-time friend Omar has been ripping him off, not realising that Omar has been working on getting an even bigger piece of Liam's pie.

The Gamblers is a hard-core crime story, set in Bristol of all places, which captures the spirit of Ted Lewis and brings us BANG up to date with a cleverly woven, hard-hitting, multi - character story of betrayal.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sexy bloodbath
Pulp fiction at it's best.
Violence penned by the bloody stump of a shotgunned limb. Sex scenes scrawled with the precum of a throbbing flesh strobe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unputdownable
This is a 'bloody' good read. Dark and graphic it drags you in, then slaps you around a bit. I could get addicted to this stuff - more please - and quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read
If you like fast paced violent thrillers, you'll love this. Hints of Elmore Leonard influences in here, but with more of a gritty, UK feel. Read more
