His Caffeine Nights titles take a different direction — hard-edged gangland fiction adapted from two of the most visceral British crime films of recent years, both starring Danny Dyer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Novels\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe Still Kill the Old Way\u003c\/em\u003e is British gangland fiction at its most explosive — a story of old scores, brutal loyalties, and the kind of violence that doesn't stay buried. Based on the hit film, Oldham's novelisation captures the raw energy of the screen original while adding the depth and texture that only prose can deliver. \u003cem\u003eVendetta\u003c\/em\u003e continues in the same vein — a relentless, propulsive thriller that takes the Danny Dyer film's premise and runs with it, delivering a story of revenge, honour, and consequences that escalate with every chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to Expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are not cosy crime novels.
