Product Description

Product Description

In the number one-selling crime autobiography, Stop the Ride, I Want to Get Off, Dave Courtney wrote about his life of crime and how he had decided to put that all behind him, moving into the world of the media. This proved harder than he thought, as he details in his long awaited latest book, The Ride's Back On. For Dave faces a fierce test as he is accused by a corrupt policeman of being a grass, and although the court case ends up with Dave going free (and the policeman in jail), nevertheless Dave's reputation needs defending. He defends it here in the best possible way: telling the world about what really goes on, both in court (dressed as a jester, and punching out the corrupt officer, for starters) and out of it - gunfights in Tenerife, porn films in LA, taking his own movie, Hell To Pay, to the Cannes film festival, plus getting caught in gang warfare. With Dave at the wheel, the ride's guaranteed to be a wild one.


From the Publisher

The latest installment from Dave Courtney. Following up from his first volume of autobiography, STOP THE RIDE, which has now sold well over 100,000 copies, Dave brings us bang up-to-date with what’s been going on down in South East London. And in Cannes. And Los Angeles. And … well, you’ll see. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ride? More like a rollercoaster!, 17 Oct 2002
By Mr. R. Ellor "Roy Ellor" (Salford, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Ride's Back on (Hardcover)
I would normally expect a second volume of an autobiography to be somewhat paler than the first. Not this time. From Page One, Dave catapults you into a gripping story of bent coppers, media hype and his new found celebrity status.

Many similar books fail on account of there being not much original material left to cover. Here Dave tells a completely new account of his recent 100mph life, and the court case that could have seen him take a bullet in the head from associates had the charge of police informer been made to stick. From that we scream into Cannes, films and longhaul flights! Not once does this book sag, and Dave Courtney certainly lives up to and exceeds the promise of the three earlier books.

Dave is developing a trademark style to his writings; an ability to retain his ways of thinking and speaking but with a much more polished style and flow to his storytelling.

Another cracking read from Dodgy dave.

1.0 out of 5 stars What Rubbish, 7 Jun 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ride's Back on (Hardcover)
Poor - drones on AND on about the Bent copper scenario and such, which I found boring. ALso, Stop The Ride covers the rest.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE FIRST WAS THE BEST, BUT THIS IS NEARLY AS GOOD, 30 Jan 2006
By CRAZY GIRL (Brsitol, UK) - See all my reviews
I do not offer praise easily, not when it comes to book reviews. Mr Courtney has a problem, he has to straddle the old world of gangsters and the new face of street cred he chases so fervently. Obviously, a nicer killer you could not find and in Mr Courtney's own words he is "One flash bastard."

Media battles and bent police officers figure high in this book, but I have a strange feeling that I have heard it all before, but not so well put. Don't all or most gangsters have an axe to grind whn it comes to the law, Mr Courtney is no different. Although he makes it work for him by use of funny expletives.

Better he is stuck at home writing books than raging turf wars and the likes, the new face of crime ... Mr Courtney.
