Malcolm Deakin, one-time Falklands hero, is a hitman; a classic gangland shooter with twelve ice-cold killings to his name on the streets of London. Each one of these twelve killings is committed without remorse; Deakin does not give a second thought to his hapless victims. But then along comes target number thirteen... It is an old school friend, and as the hitman begins researching the contract he gets the nasty feeling that his intended victim is about to turn the tables on him. The hitman is set on the same streets and supposedly respectable suburbs where real-life public enemy number one Kenneth Noye made his name. Author P.J.Adams takes the reader on an authentic, nail-biting, roller-coaster ride through the full, face-on brutality of southeast London's underworld in a book that combines the wit of Alfie with the brutality and tangled domestic life of The Sopranos

Leighton Frayne The Frayne Brothers Published June 2003 by Blake Pub at £16.99 ISBN: 1904034640

Leighton and Lindsay Frayne like to do business their way. They don’t take liberties and they demand the same from anyone who has dealings with them. For years they have ruled their patch with a fair but very firm hand.
When a member of their family was brutally attacked, the brothers took matters into their own hands and went after the attacker with a .44 Magnum. When the daughter of a friend had drugs pushed on her, they ensured that the pusher’s operation was shut down – permanently.
Often referred to as the Welsh Krays, the Frayne brothers struck up a friendship with Ron and Reg whilst they themselves were in prison. The Fraynes soon became trusted business advisers to the twins, often visiting them in prison. Their likeness to the Krays even led to Reg asking them to audition for the film of the Krays’ life.
They are the brains and brawn behind one of the most ruthless and organised firms in the UK: violence and honour are their watchwords and they are more than ready to make sure that justice is maintained in the underworld.
Much has been written about them. Little of it is based on fact. Now they tell their own story…
Leighton Frayne was born in 1961, in what is now known as the Celtic Manor Hotel in Newport, and brought up in the heart of the tough mining community of a South Wales Valley.
He was a keen boxer, and self-educated, but soon joined the ‘University of Crime’ and embarked on his journey through the British prison system.

Brian Heard Awaking the Dead Published May 2003 by Blake Pub at £16.99 ISBN: 1904034624

The life of a forensic scientist isn't just confined to the lab. As Brian Heard reveals in this book, it is thrilling and sometimes terrifying work, and is certainly not for the fainthearted. Intelligence, nerve and a strong stomach are essential. As a forensic scientist, Heard has been involved in some of the most high profile and brutal cases in criminal history over the last 38 years. When the Krays were active during the 60s, Heard was in charge of finding which gangs were responsible for which bodies. When the notorious Triads made a hit, it was his skill and keen eye that established who the culprits were. The tales include a mixture of sadness, human tragedy, violence, guile, cunning and sheer stupidity that take the reader on a nail-biting journey through a side of the underworld that few ever see. Written in language anyone can understand, the book details the techniques that are used to fight crime.

Janie Jones Devil Woman Pbk published April 2003 by Blake Pub at £6.99 ISBN: 1857825063


This is the inside story of a woman known as the most sinister in the history of British crime. Whilst the author was in prison for heading a prostitution ring she met Moors murderer Myra Hindley, who set out to captivate her. For months, Hindley confided in Jones, pouring out reminiscences of her past life with Ian Brady, the murders she had become infamous for and her experiences in prison. These conversations are documented within. This is a reconstruction of the permissive swinging 60s, a period that saw the author a pop star, night club dancer and party girl. It is also a description of the routine of violence, drugs and sex in women's prisons, as well as a revelation about Hindley's state of mind, one which offers an insight into the mind of someone who is thought of as one of the world's most evil women.
