Paul Buck The E..... List: Notorious Prison Escapes: 1 Published October 2008 by Pennant Books at £14.99 ISBN: 190601518X
See Review by Carol Anne Davis Author of Children Who Kill
When they go to prison, they do so as criminals. But for the few who stage great escapes, the reality of pain, endurance, risk and personal courage can make them into heroes. For the first time,
The E..... List tells the stories of the most ruthless and desperate bad boys and chancers who broke out of jail and into the annals of criminal history. Paul Buck exposes the military-style planning and minute-by-minute tension of more ""respected"" convicts: the ones sentenced for political or criminal crimes who can garner the required criminal support network.

Paul Buck's many credits as a writer range from an acclaimed novel based on cult crime movie The Honeymoon Killers to translating the songs of legendary Belgian chanson Jacques Brel. His memories of the 1960 s underground literary scene are contained in Iain Sinclair s anthology, London: City of Disappearances.

Terry Smith Blaggers Inc. - Britain s Biggest Armed Robberies: 1 Published December 2008 by Pennant Books at £14.99 ISBN: 1906015198
From piracy on the high seas to the recent Securitas depot robbery in Kent, Britain has a long and inglorious tradition of armed robbery as a way of life. In this uniquely compelling history, reformed career criminal Terry Smith brings the benefit of hard-won wisdom to his analysis of all the major cases. Casting a sharp eye over both the dangerously devil-may-care ‘blagger’ and the more organised professional ‘villain’, he brings an insider’s point of view to the most high-profile armed robberies of the past 50 years. Each chapter has a full and comprehensive account of the robbery in the words of those who participated in it (including some exclusive interview material), the media, police and court records – starting from the initial spark through to the planning, organisation and execution of the crime, and how it came to be solved by law enforcement.

Terry Smith hails from Canning Town in London’s East End. His personal experiences of crime and punishment form the basis of his memoir, The Art of Armed Robbery. He is also the author of Nil Desperandum, a biography of professional thief Patsy Feeley. In recent years Terry has appeared on Channel 4 reality show The Heist and worked as technical adviser on Spike Lee’s robbery movie Inside Man.
