2020 'Vivid, stylish, funny' Mick Heron The first time I met Harold
Challenor, he frisked me for weapons - I was ten years old. Bent is
the explosive story of the rise and fall of SAS commando, and
notorious Detective Sergeant, Harold 'Tanky' Challenor. During the
Second World War, Challenor was parachuted behind enemy lines into
Italy and France, performing remarkable feats of bravery. In the
grimy underbelly of 1960s Soho, he was a ferocious and
controversial presence, mediating between factions of club owners
and racketeers, and cultivating informers. But just how far will he
go to break the protection gang that has a grip on his manor? It
can be a fine line that divides hero and villain. PRAISE FOR JOE
