book description

"Yardie" by Victor Headley is a gripping novel that exposes the harsh reality of London's gang culture in the 90s. The story begins at Heathrow Airport, where a Jamaican arrives with a kilo of high-quality cocaine strapped to his body. However, he manages to slip away before anyone notices. This sets off a chain of events that leads the protagonist, D, to become a new player in the dangerous world of drug trade.

As D rises to power as the Front Line's newest don, he becomes a target for revenge due to his past betrayal. The novel explores themes of loyalty, treachery, and the brutal consequences of involvement in the criminal underworld.
