Skinheads is the story of a way of life  told through three generations of a family: Terry English  original ska-loving skinhead and boss of a mini-cab firm; Nutty Ray  street-punk skin and active football hooligan; and Lol  son of Terry  nephew of Ray  a fifteen-year-old kid just starting out.  Terry is sick and not sure hes going to make his fiftieth birthday  but is kept going by his music  his lovely mod-girl assistant Angie  and his discovery of the abandoned Union Jack Club  which he decides to clean up and re-open. Ray  meanwhile  is out driving mini-cabs and struggling to control his anger; his only release  days out with Chelseas finest. But when he takes the law into his own hands in an explosion of righteous violence  his future starts to darken.  John Kings seventh novel draws on nearly forty years of evolving British culture. The skinheads didnt die off: the look went mainstream and their music was accepted and reinvented  while the boys themselves keep misbehaving in the traditional ways. Challenging societys fears and prejudices  Skinheads shows us a group of truly humane characters driven by passion and honour and the culture they love. This is their story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67931877343285,"sku":"ByrdShop_0224064479","price":99.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780224064477.jpg?v=1794218323","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/skinheads-9780224064477","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
