A gritty, uncompromising new story from Welsh crime writer Roger Granelli.

Elkins arrived in Cardiff in 1946, a refugee from the Holocaust. Now an old man, he's weighed down with a survivor's guilt, haunted by his memories.

Kev and Dean are football hooligans, drunk on cheap lager and easy violence. The season is nearly over, and they need a way to fund their summer. A chance encounter causes these three lives to come crashing together one fateful night.

Dark, broody narration for a short story that sets up the haunted half-life of a Holocaust survivor as he collides with two hooligans out on a crime spree laced with F-bombs and violence. Definitely provides a mood, but the story isn’t long enough to get to know either side, which makes the collision less emotional.

I enjoyed his longer novella trilogy, starting with Under the Palermo Sky, about two brothers who get involved with the mafia and try to fast track fortune and glory. All three novellas are currently free in Audible Plus, making them quick, decent listens if you like tales of mafias and vicious cycles of revenge.
