Undercover cop Harry Tyler is back, doing what he does best—infiltrating the most dangerous gangs in the country. Then his ex-wife becomes involved when she is the victim of a brutal attack, and it''s not long before Harry decides to take the law into his own hands and administer some rough justice.

Harry Tyler, undercover cop, is the best in his field. Sharp-witted and cool-headed, he always nails his man. Johnny Too, East-End gangland villain, is handsome, cunning, and dangerous, and always gets what he wants. So when Harry''s next job is to infiltrate Johnny''s firm and bring the chaps to book, the results are inevitably explosive and exciting. Determined as ever to get a result, Harry goes deep undercover and immerses himself in the gangland life of women, cars, drugs, and guns. A fast-moving and fiery novel, the story blazes a trail through the street-life of London, culminating in a pacey and thrilling finale.

This volume of memoirs chronicles the most exciting generation of British music the world has ever seen. Punk's initial firestorm kicked open the door for myriad other scenes. In rapid succession came Ska, New Mod, New Wave, anarcho-punk and Oi/street-punk.It was an explosion of madcap musical energy as incendiary as it was inspirational, created and performed by both geniuses and madmen. At the heart of this rock 'n' roll tsunami was SOUNDS magazine. And at the heart of SOUNDS was your narrator, Garry Bushell. Like his idols, Garry lived every day as if it was his last. Which it nearly was. Going to prison with the Angelic Upstarts, tripping into paranoid West Berlin with the Exploited before The Wall came down, fighting a world champion boxer...all in a day's work for our Garry. These were truly days of glory. Bushell joined The Specials and The Selecter as they toured the US for the first time. He covered befriended Debbie Harry, feuded with Crass, skanked away with Madness, championed Secret Affair and managed the Cockney Rejects.From John Cooper Clarke to Right to Work marches, from Squeeze in South London to seedy German brothels, this volume is a unique record of raw and exciting bands, giant characters and radical ideas - all told with a twinkle in the eyes and a smile on the lip.
