Dave Courtney, described by the press as 'one of the most feared men on the streets of London' reveals the characters, both fictional and all too real that have most influenced his colourful life. As you might expect, Dodgy Dave's ideas of what constitutes a hero and a villain is at times a little, well, dodgy. Dave challenges our notions of what it is to be heroic in his usual candid and witty style. With ten of his best heroes including Ned Kelly, Edward G Robinson and Al Capone and villains from his own past such as the Krays, Bruce Reynolds and Joey Pyle, Dave Courtney's Heroes and Villains is a fascinating insight into their lives from a unique angle - from someone who knows - and into the inspiration behind the man. 

Join the ride with the dramatic continuation of Dave's story in which the bestselling celebrity gangster reveals who he believes was behind the car crash that nearly killed him, the effect it had on his marriage, his recent journeys around the world and how he plans to take on America.

In "Stop the Ride, I Want to Get Off", Dave Courtney wrote about his life of crime and how he had decided to put that all behind him, and move into the world of the media. This proved harder that he thought, as he details in this book. For Dave faces a fierce test as he is accused by a corrupt policeman of being a grass, and although the court case ends up with the Dave going free, (and the policeman in jail), nevertheless Dave's reputation needs defending. So he defends it here - telling the world about what really goes on, both in court (dressed as a jester, and punching out the corrupt officer, for starters) and out of it - gunfights in Tenerife, porn films in LA, taking his own movie, "Hell to Pay", to the Cannes film festival, and getting caught in gang warfare.

Notorious in London's criminal underworld, Dave is also a big name in the club and dance scene. Raving Lunacy is the story of this double life: from parties in prisons and sewers to railway arches and aircraft hangars. And of course the clientele that came to the parties was composed of, in Dave's words, 'the most colourful characters London has to offer'. Raving Lunacy covers the ground that the best-selling Stop the Ride left out, as Dave details what went on after the doors were shut tight. Told with characteristic humour and brazen honesty, it reveals the darker side of the era known as the summer of love.

Dave’s third book is a funny, scary and totally Dave account of the underworld – the people he knows, the things he’s done, and what he thinks of the future of crime. Be ready for some surprises – if you think you know Dave, and what he’s going to say, then you’re in for a big surprise. Dave pulls no punches in telling us what he thinks of those who use to run the crime in the city – what is going to happen when the Russians start moving in – and just who have been the biggest influences in his life. Oh, and he tells some jokes, too.

Dave Courtney has been a legend in criminal circles in South London since the days of the Krays. This autobiography details his shady and immoral past, his time in jail and why he's decided it's time to get out of the business. Quality bloke, quality book.

'Book of the week' - Mail on Sunday
This is an extraordinary read, scary, eye-poppingly horrible, and yet funny at the same time. Dave is as hard on himself as on anyone else (well ... most of the time, anyway) and you do get to see a savagely honest self-portrait. But it's a terrific read and you'll not regret buying this one.

"Hell to Pay" is a modern reworking of Cane and Abel, set in London's infamous underworld. Dave (Dave Courtney) and Larry (Billy Murray) are brothers who jointly run a prominent London "firm". The film opens with Larry trying to cover his tracks after he has "knocked" a rival gang boss, for £100,000 of drug money. This is the catalyst for a dramatic chain of events that will lead to double-cross, murder, and ultimately full scale war between the brothers. Larry, a devious schemer, sees the drug trade as a lucrative way forward for the firm, despite his brother's protests, and when Dave, who is forced to kill Murphy to protect Larry, is arrested for murder, Larry takes the opportunity to set himself up as drug baron. With an improvisational narrative structure and a raw-edged stylistic approach, "Hell to Pay" has the uncomfortable feel of a fly on the wall documentary as it chronicles the sometimes chilling, sometimes routine events that typify the distinctly British gangster lifestyle. Punctuated by naturalistic performances and an earthy, ironic humour. The movie has a pungent air of authenticity, bolstered by the fact that many of the principles are living the real life experience of the world their characters inhabit. Genuine gangster icons Dave Courtney, Joey Pyle, "Pretty Boy" Roy Shaw, and Tony Lambrianou, all long-time associates of the Krays, ensure that the situations and dialogues ring true, by drawing on their personal knowledge.
