Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Carlton Leach-Muscle, also another fan here of The Guvnor, epic read.
I've read a lot of Dave Courtneys books too, and although he may have a show off/plastic gangster image nowadays, his books are very entertaining.

Iceman : Confessions of a Contract Killer.
500+ pages of the life of a contract killer, gripping stuff when it's all real.
Got some other books there will have a dig out of some of them.
Cocky was a good read, espcially as it's all true aswell.

If it's entertainment you want then Dave Courtney's books are certainly readable even though they are a little exagerated in my opinion but still very readable (i see you have read some Chopper books so you are no stranger to exagerations).
Rise of the Foot Soldier by Carlton Leach is also not bad. At the moment i am reading Brown Bread Fred by Freddie Foreman which is a good eye opener and clarifies a few myths from the past.

Yeah also read both of those and they are quite good "tell it how it is" books, not dressed up just for entertainment value.

Out of the ones mentioned above I'd reccomend "Vendetta" by Paul Ferris and Reg Mckay, or "Essex boys" (fuck all like the film and MUCH better) by Bernard O'mahony(sp?). Looking for a good one to read very soon, i usually make a point of reading one when I'm sunning it by the pool in my annual pilgramage to spain.
I've also got a "Cosa Nostra" book, but i haven't read it all yet, so might make a start on that now that I've read this thread actually.

kind of related to crimes during the 2nd world wars. I highly recommend these two books by lord russell of liverpool.
* Scourge of the swastika
* Knights of the bushido
pretty eye opening and interesting to read
