"What made a promising university student become a bank robber? How
did a world traveller become an internationally wanted criminal?"
This book is an autobiographical account of the author's route into
crime, from an unknown university student to an infamous bank
robber wanted on both sides of the pond. It isn't long before he
swaps lecture halls for the ruthless walls of the American prison
system. This book shows how the path of crime is not always easy to
predict - and that the voices of those locked away will one day be
heard. Surrounded by the dismal walls of his prison cell, the
author retreats into his memories, where the past slowly unravels
and the path to his future predicament is made clear. "Just Sky" is
a story of discovery and dreams, of loss and struggle. It is a
gripping tale which lays bare the harrowing details of the time
spent by the author in American prisons.
This book relates a gripping modern day 'Bonnie and Clyde' story.
It is a tale showing how a couple chose the path of crime - but in
this case, it was to address global inequality and poverty. For
John and Sarah, the means really do justify the end. They have
chosen to steal from the richest in an attempt to end the suffering
of the poorest. But as the day of their casino heist draws nearer,
so do the police investigators bent on stopping them. What is more,
with a shadowy organisation lurking close behind, John and Sarah
realise that the stakes are much bigger than they thought. Good
Intentions is both exciting and entertaining in its pursuit of some
of the greatest problems that face our time.
