Doncaster, and Jack Carter is home for a funeral - his brother Frank's. Frank had been found dead and drunk in his car at the bottom of a cliff. Now, Frank was a mild, sober man, so why did he land up dead in his car at the bottom of a cliff? Jack thinks his death doesn't add up and decides to ask questions. But he is told to stop by Gerald and Les who run a porn 'firm' and Jack is their hit man. Frank did as he was told, but Jack is not like that . . .
This is a tough, uncompromising novel portraying a stark society of people living on the dangerous border-line between crime and respectability.
Ted Lewis was born in Manchester in 1940. Before his death in 1982, he had published seven novels and written for television. Jack's Return Home was subsequently retitled Get Carter after the success of the film of the same name starring Michael Caine, which created the noir school of British crime writing and pushed Lewis into the bestseller list.
