On the Run

One of Britain's most iconic actors, Jamie Foreman is also the son of Britain's most notorious gangster, Freddie Foreman. Right from the start, his world was one of contrast and contradiction: he grew up surrounded by London's criminal elite, living by their code of honor and respect, yet he himself was brought up to be a "straight goer." The happiness of his family and school life was snatched from Jamie when his father was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his involvement in a killing. At 14, Jamie decided that his passion was for acting. By the time of his dad's release from prison, Jamie had carved a "straight" career for himself, enjoying success on stage and screen. Soon, he was dividing his time between acting and assisting with Freddie's "business"--living life at 100 mph and loving it. Before long, their lives took a surprising turn when a drug deal his father was heavily involved in went tragically wrong and they were forced to go on the run to America, marking the start of a whole new adventure.

Doing the Business - The Final Confession of the Senior Kray Brother

The final confessions of the senior Kray brother. Only one man knew everything about Ronnie and Reggie Kray and that was their brother Charlie. Until now nobody has ever revealed the truth about the Firm.• Gossip and rumor have been rife, fact has blended into fiction and the unwritten law of the street meant that the real story was buried. But before his death, the eldest Kray brother, Charlie, decided to set the record straight once and for all. Revealing everything to Colin Fry, his co-author, he finally told his incredible story. By the man who knew them best, this is the ultimate history of the twins who ruled the East End with their peculiar blend of seductive glamour and terrifying violence.

Loonyology

Lifer Charlie Bronson's reputation precedes him - ‘Britain's most violent prisoner’ - or does it? Do we really know the true Charlie, or are our impressions the result of media hype? Well, what is in no doubt is that Loonyology is 200% Bronson and will transport the reader on the dizziest no-holds-barred roller-coaster ride of their lives, from suspense and shock to laughter and tears, and from Bronson the ‘Solitary King’ to Bronson the Philosopher, the Poet, the Artist, the Author, the Joker, the Walking Scar and the Freedom Fighter.
