Jack doesn’t like leaving the business in other people’s hands, but the company villa in Spain promises sunshine and some time to plot his next move. Jack soon finds he is on anything but a vacation. The villa is already inhabited by a cowardly house steward and a knuckle-dragging American gangster. Jack has apparently been sent to protect the American, who has turned informant. There are few things that Jack Carter hates more than surprises. Informants being chief among them.\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eBorn in Manchester, England, Ted Lewis (1940-1982) spent most of his  youth in Barton-upon-Humber in the north of England. After graduating  from Hull Art School, Lewis moved to London and first worked in  advertising before becoming an animation specialist, working on the  Beatles’ \u003ci\u003eYellow Submarine\u003c\/i\u003e. His novels are the product of his  lifelong fascination with the criminal lifestyle of London’s Soho  district and the down-and-out lifestyle of the English factory town.  Lewis' novels pioneered the British noir school. He authored nine  novels, the second of which was famously adapted in 1971 as the now  iconic \u003ci\u003eGet Carter\u003c\/i\u003e, which stars Michael Caine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46556142141601,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781616955076","price":18.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781616955076_373dae94-61ad-48a6-8666-9be48658748c.jpg?v=1781806459","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/jack-carter-and-the-mafia-pigeon-paperback-by-ted-lewis-1","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
