“What Brighton's got is a major sea port on either side, good for importing drugs, great for exporting cash, stolen cars, stolen antiques. It's got the largest number of antique shops in the UK, so it's a great place to fence stolen goods. It's got tremendous communication: you've got the sea ports, you've got the channel tunnel, you've got Gatwick Airport 25 minutes away, and London's 50 minutes away by train. So all these escape routes... Which is what villains like.” SidesNumbersSeaMinutesCarCommunicationDrugMajorsTrainLondonShopsGoodsVillainCashRoutesFenceStolenAirportsTunnelsPortAntiquesBrightonExporting Author:Peter James
“Brighton has two universities. It's got a massive young, middle-class community, and the largest gay community in the UK. The result of which is a huge recreational drug market. It's the favoured place to live in the UK for first division criminals.” FirstsTwoYoungCommunityResultsClassMiddleHugeGayDrugUniversityCriminalsMiddle ClassMassiveDivisionPlaces To LiveGay CommunityBrightonRecreational Drugs Author:Peter James
“If you and I took a walk down a shopping street in Jo'burg or Cape Town or London, we see two guys looking in a shop window, we think, "Oh, they're wondering what they're going to buy." A cop looks at them and thinks, "Why are they standing there? Are they doing a drug deal? Are they going to mug someone? Are they going to rob the shop?"” IfsThinkingLooksTwoGuyWalksDealsWonderStreetsDrugStandingWindowTownsLondonShopsShoppingCopStanding ThereCapesMugTwo GuysCape TownShop Windows Author:Peter James
