✦ Synopsis


_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 β€˜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.
