The Samurai of Gosford Green

The life of a Samurai – serving your master, bringing honour to your estate and expelling the barbarians – has never been easy. Especially not when Social Services have placed you in Gosford Green, one of Britain’s bleakest council housing facilities.

But why should this warrior be daunted? After all, the Green is an estate in dire need of regaining its honour. Apprentices must be trained, battles must be fought and if the barbarians refuse to accept expulsion, they’ll have to be dealt with in other, more permanent ways...

The traditions of Yukio Mishima and British ‘kitchen sink’ drama meet explosively and unforgettably in Justin Hamlin’s debut novel
'The Samurai of Gosford Green'.
