Review
"* "Heart-stopping... a gripping, high-octane read with a violent, climactic final scene that could have been written by Lynda La Plante" Daily Mail"
Product Description
Philip and Martin are two of London's most successful villains. They specialize mainly in drugs, but also deal in guns, stolen cars, credit cards and pretty much everything else that comes their way.
And business is booming. Martin drives a top-of-the-range BMW and Philip a slick Merc. When they hit town their wallets are fat with banknotes. If a deal looks good, money's not a problem.
Tough, streetwise and professional, they're the kind of men other crooks like to deal with.
And that's just the idea, because both Philip and Martin are undercover cops.
Revealed for the first time, this is the explosive true story of the Met's covert operations by two men from the front line where any mistake could have been their last.

Format:Paperback
Where to begin.... from the moment i picked up this book i was glued and could not put it back down!! Each page told a different story of the lives of these police officers, prepared to put their lives on the line to make our world a safer place. The risks involved in their jobs were paramount and this is clearly reflected in this book. The twists and turns in each individual chapter allow this book to come to a climax ending, where i was on the edge of my seat to see the fate of these two officers! An amazing book, i would recommend this read to anyone!!!!!!

I loved this book, just fast paced enough to keep you wanting more and just detailed enough to show that these guys really lived the stories that they're telling. I liked the way that the two threads slowly converged to the final climax and thought that Philip and Martin did a great job of entertaining and informing. Well done guys, for the book but mostly for the service that you gave to all of us.

I always searched for a book which I couldn't put down and this was definitely the one which I had in-vainly been searching for. The book concentrates on two under police officers and there in depth techniques for infiltrating what could be one of the most vicious precautions drug dealers in London to a very scared women with a ploy to kill her once loving husband. This is a real grit your teeth book and by no means filled with any Hollywood type antics. Its very much in your face and shows what can go wrong when you are stuck in the middle of police politics and a gang full of yardies.
