Series background & context
Black and Gold is a crime series built around a risky idea, what happens when an ordinary man decides the system is not enough. Simon is pushed to the edge by the violence around him, and he becomes the Mask, a vigilante in black and gold with a talent for making enemies.
He is not working alone. Jess is part partner, part conscience, part reality check. Together they move through estates, back streets, and waterfronts where criminals feel untouchable, at least until the Mask turns up.
The early books focus on street-level threats, youth gangs, protection rackets, and the fallout that hits everyone nearby. Then the stakes widen into organised crime and people with money, influence, and a long memory.
It is justice with consequences.
Alex Galvan and his circle represent the bigger machine Simon is trying to punch. Every hit against them invites retaliation, and the line between justice and revenge gets harder to see.
These are fast, gritty stories with a strong sense of place and momentum. Start with Black and Gold to meet the Mask, then follow the escalating war through Relentless and beyond.
