The Secret Gangster
A life lived in the shadows. A reputation earned the hard way. A story that was never meant to be told.
From the bomb-scarred streets of post-war East London to the pubs, clubs, prisons and back rooms where power really changed hands, The Secret Gangster is a raw, uncompromising memoir of crime, loyalty, violence and survival.
This is not the polished version. Not the newspaper version. Not the story told by outsiders looking in.
It is the voice of a man who lived through it — from Canning Town and the East End underworld to the high-stakes world of blags, scams, gangland politics, betrayal, money and murder. Some names have been changed. Some details have been protected. But the world inside these pages is brutally real.
Written with grit, honesty and a refusal to romanticise the life, The Secret Gangster pulls the reader into a hidden Britain of old scores, quiet rules, dangerous men and consequences that never really go away.
Dark, hard-hitting and deeply personal, this is more than a crime memoir.
It is a confession, a warning, and a look behind the curtain at a world most people only think they understand.
Reputation is earned in blood.
Silence keeps men alive.
And some secrets take a lifetime to tell.

Noble Cause Corruption — Book One: The George Ince Story
A late-night robbery. A brutal murder. A man accused of a crime he swore he did not commit.
In 1972, the Barn Restaurant in Braintree was one of Essex’s best-known venues — a place of music, cabaret, and late-night celebration. But behind the lights and laughter, a violent attack would tear one family apart and trigger a murder investigation surrounded by rumours, disputed evidence, and unanswered questions.
George Ince was pulled into the centre of it.
What followed was a gripping and unsettling journey through the criminal underworld, police procedure, courtroom pressure, and the dangerous grey area between justice and conviction. As the case unfolded, doubts began to surface: had the right man been accused, or had the system already made up its mind?
Noble Cause Corruption — Book One: The George Ince Story examines one of the most troubling cases of its time — a story of reputation, fear, flawed identification, and alleged police corruption in 1970s Britain.
Dark, detailed, and uncompromising, this first book in the Noble Cause Corruption series asks a question that still cuts deep:
When the police believe they have their man, how far will the system go to prove it?
