Unleash your inner rebel with Heavy Duty People, the gritty British crime thriller that redefines the genre and introduces the world to Biker Noir. From the mean streets of a gang-infested neighbourhood to the ruthless realm of vicious gangsters, this explosive tale is a raw and unfiltered account of life on the edge. Brace yourself for a heart-pounding journey as you join Damage and his brothers, riding their thunderous bikes across the untamed Northern fells. When the coveted offer from The Brethren MC lands at Damage's club, tensions rise, and loyalties are tested. Will they remain true to their brotherhood, or will the allure of power and wealth drive them apart? As the wheels spin and the wind howls, long-buried secrets and a history steeped in blood-soaked oil threaten to resurface. The question is, can they survive the storm? Step into the dangerous underworld where deals are made in shadows and adrenaline flows through their veins. Heavy Duty People exposes the high-stakes game of supply and demand, where the risks are deadly, but the rewards are intoxicating. You'll never look at a party snort or a club tab the same way again, realizing that someone like you, someone who craves the rush, had to make it happen. But it's not just the world of narcotics that will leave you questioning your own moral compass. Reflect on the society we live in, where big tobacco profits from selling death, and perhaps you unknowingly contribute to their success through your investments. Suddenly, the line between guilt and innocence blurs. Are you ready to experience a no-holds-barred exploration of brotherhood, betrayal, and the high-stakes world of the two-wheeled outlaws? Heavy Duty People will grab you by the throat, shake you to your core, and leave you breathless for more. Don't miss this unapologetic masterpiece that will make you question everything you thought you knew about crime fiction. Prepare for the ride of your life.

Events and festivals have an increasingly vital role in our leisure lifestyles. We recognize them as part of our lives. For some, they are a very significant part of our lives. The network of festivals and events that either adorn the world now, or are planned for the future, can both serve to motivate new visits as well as enhance the lives of the people who live in – or near – the host area. They are also dynamos of cultural development, of sport knowledge and excellence and sophisticated consumption. Such dynamic outputs require dynamic inputs. This book looks at different event and festival cases and forwards separate and current managerial implications and responses to these, with reference to the UK, America and Australia. Both up-to-date and forward thinking, the managerial themes addressed are: Creative Management, Festival and Event audience development, Culture and Community, Event and Festival evaluation. Festival and event types include sport events, art festivals, community events, live music and culinary extravaganza. This book was previously published as a special issue of Managing Leisure: An International Journal.
