Overview
Beneath this awesome book cover lies a stunning debut by talented author, Zachary Black. In `Body Bags and Shallow Graves', full-time stoners and social dropouts Tom and Flaco - South London's answer to Cheech and Chong - find themselves way out of their depth in a hilarious and intelligent plot that twists and turns sharper than any British gangster film. Rizlas, roaches and raves; boozers, beer and body bags; dodgy dealings and drugs - lots of drugs - this book is for anyone who's ever known a guy, who knows a guy, but wished they hadn't ... and it's exceptional!

Description
Tom is a recreational drug user. He knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy… and he comes to wish he didn’t. In an attempt to ease his financial dilemma Tom bites off more than he can chew when he decides to impersonate a dealer whose murder he accidentally witnesses. But Tom is soon to realise he’s not as street savvy as he’d like to believe when a series of blunders, incited by lifelong friend Flaco, a stone-head sure to test the patience of a saint, see the debt quickly mount and a progressively more terrifying succession of heavies come knocking. Unwittingly Tom is plunged head-first into a world of dealers, deals and death enacted by a mysterious assassin who stalks his every move. Will he make it as a dealer? Will he find his way out? Or will he wind up where most of his London underworld bosses are turning up: in a body bag in a shallow grave?
