The Blackburn Syndicate Book

In the shadows of Blackburn’s rain-soaked streets, power isn’t given—it’s taken. When a million-pound shipment of cocaine arrives at the docks, a deadly game begins. Rival gangs—the Gypsies, Turks, Asians, Council Estate Whites, and Upper-Class Whites—are thrown into a brutal war for control. Caught in the chaos are two teenagers who unknowingly spark a chain of violence that will leave scars across the city.

Betrayal. Blood. Survival.

As alliances crumble and bodies pile up, the question isn’t who will survive, but who will rise to claim the throne of Blackburn’s criminal underworld.
