Synopsis
The headline "Armed police throw ring of steel around court" says it all. Stephen Gillen was the most wanted and most feared in the UK. But not everything was what it seemed and this gripping true crime story reveals for the first time what actually happened.
The Monkey Puzzle tree is not fiction. It happened. Real people did unspeakable things. My journey took me through the brutal civil war in Northern Ireland where as a child I witnessed real hell on earth. It took me into London's hidden organised crime scene, and high-security prisons. But in the end, it is an inspirational story of transformation and redemption that takes us from the darkest places back into the light.
You will never read a more powerful book.
