Louis grew up in the toughest streets of Birmingham. The streets where his own friends wouldn’t think twice before stabbing him in the back. The streets where women were seen as sex objects, rather than people. The streets where showing emotion was seen as a weakness. The streets where "kill or be killed" was the code that you needed to live by in order to survive... After a tragedy, Louis lost his way. When he is thrown onto the dark and dangerous path of crime lord Steve Sawyers, the kingpin of the city’s biggest drug cartel, will Louis step up as he uncovers a world he never imagined? Or will his stepfather’s dirty secrets and deceit ultimately lead to his own downfall? Kill or be Killed is the first instalment in the Mafia Kingpin series.
