"Four million quid. There it was, inches away from me on a hotel table. Not in conventional currency, but in the world’s deadliest commodity. Heroin."
As part of Scotland Yard’s undercover team, it was Peter Bleksley’s job to infiltrate some of the capital’s most dangerous gangs and bring them down. For 10 years, he went deeper into the criminal underworld than any cop had before him. Meeting with dealers, gangland leaders, and members of the IRA and the Mafia, he lived the life of the Great Pretender, constantly changing his identity to ensure his cover was never blown. While undeniably thrilling work at times, it came at a heavy price. The more successful he was at bringing criminals to justice, the longer the list of those who wanted revenge became. Even now, Peter looks over his shoulder in case someone should wish to act on an old threat. In The Gangbuster, Bleksley draws us into the world of drugs, violence, and covert operations he inhabited for so long in the pursuit of justice.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Four million quid. There it was, inches away from me on a hotel table. Not in conventional currency, but in the world's deadliest commodity. Heroin. The guy sitting opposite me was there to sell it. I was there to buy it. This was the trap we'd set for the biggest fish in international drug trafficking. And we were about to fry him alive.Peter Bleksley was the best undercover cop Scotland Yard ever had. In over ten years operating in covert squads, he came up against some of the most hardened, lethal and bizarre underworld operations, constantly putting his life on the line so that the deadliest villians would end up where they belonged: behind bars. A master of disguise, he assumed numerous identities in order to get close to his targets - drug dealer, counterfeiter, gangster and hit man to name just a few. So determined was he to nail his man, he would even have to take cannabis or cocaine to remain above the suspicion of gang bosses. This is a breathtaking story that will take you inside a world that few have access to. It is the story of a man so dedicated to his job that it became more important even than his own life, a man so professional that his reputation preceded him the world over. This is the story of the Gangbuster. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781786062482
