Description
In 1945 India, Partition is looming, and it is a dangerous and violent place. A fateful meeting and illicit romance between Joe Benedict and his boss’s wife Molly, starts an unstoppable sequence of events, as on their return to England they unwittingly become the founders of one of the most ruthless criminal gangs in London.
Years later, London is ruled by violent gangs. Ambitious Nick Benedict and his best friend Subash, known as Basher, accidentally become involved with the dark side of Joe’s past. This leads Nick to become embroiled with the Magellis, a major London crime family. Eventually, battling for success against the Magellis, Krays and Richardsons, the Bombay Boys, (named for their Indian roots) fight to establish themselves in this violent world.
The Bombay Boys is a savage and exciting journey filled with romance and thrills, as the family establish their territory in a gangster world that spans from London to New York, Las Vegas and even Sydney.

I enjoyed this story and the pacing of the book was phenomenal. The author did a great job of introducing several characters but not losing the plot. I also think the motivations of the characters was well flushed out. Despite that the prose read like it was an oral telling. The dialogue in particular felt a bit fake and there was little difference between the way each of the characters talked. All that being said I did truly want to know what happened and was into this story!
Set initially in India, small petty crimes become more and more serious throughout the years. We follow members of the family as they make a living the only way they can - through crime. It's a well written family saga with believable characters which will keep you reading.
