Perfect for you if...

You love crime thrillers that feel ripped from real events and want brutal authenticity over sanitised storytelling.
You're drawn to survival stories where the protagonist has no good options, only varying degrees of terrible ones.
You appreciate fast-paced narratives with zero filler that prioritise tension and consequences over character introspection.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer crime stories with clever detective work or procedural elements rather than raw prison survival.
You're looking for a protagonist you can root for or sympathise with from the start, not someone caught in moral quicksand.
You want your thrillers tempered with humour, hope, or redemptive arcs. This is relentlessly bleak.

About this book

Dylan wakes up in maximum security with no memory of his eighteenth birthday, which ended with him passed out drunk in a car. Inside MAX prison, a gang called the Jesters controls everything. They murdered his brother and recruited his cellmate. Dylan faces an impossible choice: run their drugs or die. There is no trial, appeal, or escape. Brothers in Crime is the first book in the MAX series. The story draws on real events from Australia's most dangerous prisons. Simon King worked inside a maximum-security prison and witnessed the brutality firsthand. Many events in the series are based on actual occurrences, including the violence, power dynamics, and impossible choices prisoners face.
