WHAT A STUNNING READ..................... - Rated
I came across this book quite by chance and am halfway through it...........as a former crack addict myself I have even had the dubious poleasure of being nicked by Keeble.......I know many of the people he mentions in his book and most of the places( the 10o or so crack houses).........the way he writes is brilliant......he takes you INSIDE THE CRACK HOUSES........you mneet the whores, the underage ones included.......the dangerous...the victims.............you really feel he takes you around the neighborhoods he describes........Wood Green........Tottenham..............Hornsey.................I even know the gangs he talks about..............the Hornsey Man Dem........Wood Green Dem..........etc....
he gives you a brilliant insight into the way the entire crack and heroin world runs..........right from Colombia............being made into mush by farmers surrounded by civil war..............through Jamaica and the Caribbean, where it is stored, and then transferred to itinerant smugglers recreuited from Britain, etc. to carry the stuff back through customs.............
This guy HAS REALLY BEEN THERE..................I know 'coz I have myself and I can see it ata glance that this gut is 100 % the real thing- authentic...............
He takes you on a stakeo0ut..........and on the rush to the door as the heavy squad move forward and try and get tot the stuff before it all gets flushed downb the toilet !!!!!!!!!!!1
Personally I was on the other side of the splintering door.........many many times did I see it crash it..............and see the boys in blue charge in............often into the line of fire...........!!
The author makes a good case for the police's position.......BUT.CHECK THIS...............!! STRONGLY CRITICISES HARINGEY CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES...........and even states that in many cases the children taken from junkies would have been better off left alone with their parents..........apparently many of them ended up in the care of nonces employed by Haringey Council..............!!!!!!!!!111
ANYWAY............A REAL PAGE TURNER............I AM BREAKING OFF NOW TO WRITE THESE FEW WORDS...............BUT AFTER THIS I AM STRAIGHT 'BACK ON THE CASE' TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT...........
Incidentally, I wrote a book which covered SOME of the material............'Hell in Barbados' by Maverick House............for which I have just been nominated for an award............The Gold Dagger of the Crime Writers Association...................
A Cracking Read - Rated
I really enjoyed this true life description of policing at the sharp end. As well as being pacy with plenty to hold the interest. I particularly liked the descriptions of what it is like to bust a crack house - there is plenty of humour.
It is also a good description of how the police is managed or not managed - very illuminating.
