Publisher's Synopsis
The Painter is the no holds barred, unflinching true story of a man from a London council estate who chose to become a hitman for a notorious and very well connected criminal underworld 'fixer'. His story is one of hardship, bad luck and tragedy, but is never sentimental, romantic or apologetic. In turns it is extremely violent, thrilling, funny, amoral, explosive and charming. It is also an authentic look at organized crime that avoids cliches and the glamorization of those who are in the business of killing to protect their interests.
