Travel Guide
Preston 1980s
Well, according to this visit to Preston, it’s a city full of fear, abuse, violence and more.
It’s a city in fear of the rise of The Three Dogs, a criminal gang who rise to the top of their game, gaining kingpin status along the way. Violence for them is a way of life and a currency to be bartered with and sold. Or stolen as the case may be. Control is the ultimate prize.
Detective Jim Hacker is the narrator of their story tale and becomes a bit obsessed with them. He wants nothing more than to see their empire fall but he first needs the proof to knock them from their self made pedestal.
