In the number one selling crime autobiography, Stop the Ride, I Want to Get Off, Dave Courtney wrote about his life of crime and how he had decided to put that all behind him, and move into the world of the media. This proved harder than he thought, as he details in his long awaited latest book, The Ride’s Back On. For Dave faces a fierce test as he is accused by a corrupt policeman of being a grass, and although the court case ends up with Dave going free, (and the policeman in jail), nevertheless Dave’s reputation needs defending. So he defends it here in the best possible way; telling the world about what really goes on, both in court (dressed as a jester, and punching out the corrupt officer, for starters) and out of it – gunfights in Tenerife, porn films in LA, taking his own movie, Hell to Pay, to the Cannes film festival, getting caught in gang warfare. With Dave at the wheel, the ride’s guaranteed to be a wild one.

London's always had more than its fair share of villains - but few have the knowledge and experience to chart the capital's history of crime. Frankie Fraser's one who does - and he shares his experience here, recalling London crimes, both notorious and unheard-of, from his childhood to the present day. A must for anyone interested in London history or the changing face of crime.

This title takes the reader on a tour of the country that no other tour guide could do. This is Britain as seen from the underworld: the sites of murders, the stories of killings and grand thefts that places record, the memories of gangsters long, and not so long, dead. In this book, Frankie looks at crime sites the length and breadth of the UK, from Glasgow and the Bible John killer, through Newcastle and the Sibbett murder, through Manchester and the double murderer Walter Rowland, and on to the Isle of Wight. Frank covers Britain as he takes us on a tour of prisons - and those he met inside them - that he spent time in. And, as crime is no respecter of borders, Frank also visits Dublin. All the while Frank details crimes that he personally knew about; famous crimes that were part of the stories that set Frank on his way; and crimes as yet unsolved, that Frank can shed his own light upon, based on his lifelong experience of crime.

So we took the idea for Frank’s previous book, on crime sites and famous murders in London, and expanded the brief to cover the whole country. Frank has travelled the length and breadth of the land - and even popped over to Dublin, given that crime is no respecter of borders - to fill a wonderful book of unknown and hidden stories from the world of crime. Although many of the names that pop up are familiar ones, such as Arthur Thompson in Glasgow, there are always many new stories about them to be told. And Frank does love to tell ‘em.
