The Evil And The Pure

By Darren Dash

Big Sandy is an enforcer.

Clint Smith is a dealer.

Kevin Tyne is a pimp.

Gawl McCaskey is a thug.

Four men of violence, whose lives are about to intersect. It is London, the tail-end of the year 2000. A crime lord is trying to go legit. A chemical genius is working on his illegal masterpiece. A football club is up for sale. Savagely bred hounds are baying for blood. A depraved priest is preying on his flock. An abused young woman is praying for salvation.

On the harsh, unforgiving streets of the city, not everyone is going to make it to the new year.

A dark, harrowing work. Recommended for mature readers only.

Darren Dash

Darren Dash is better known as Darren Shan, under which name he has sold over 30 million books worldwide, mainly in the YA market. While Darren is still in love with the world of YA and as active on that front as ever, he is now also exploring other worlds with his adult works, as Darren Dash. Darren's real name is Darren O'Shaughnessy. He was born on July 2, 1972, in London, but is Irish (despite the strong Cockney accent that he has never lost) and has spent most of his life in Limerick in Ireland, where he now lives with his wife and children. Darren went to school in Limerick, then studied Sociology and English at Roehampton University in London. He worked for a cable television company in Limerick for a couple of years, before setting up as a full-time writer at the age of 23. He has been an incredibly prolific author, publishing more than 60 books in just over 25 years. A big film buff, with a collection of nearly five thousand movies on DVD, Darren also reads lots of books and comics, and likes to study and collect original artwork, especially comic art, modern art, and sculptures. Other interests include long walks, going to soccer matches (he's a Tottenham Hotspur and Ireland fan), listening to pop and rock music and going to lots of concerts, theatre, worldwide travel, sampling the delights of both gourmet cuisine and finger-licking junk food, and dreaming up new ways to entertain his readers!
