The Glory Boys

At the forefront of the fight stands SO19, the Metropolitan Police Specialist firearms unit, 'the Glory Boys'. They alone take the war to these villains, a war fought many hundreds of times a year by these men in black, not in some far flung foreign land and not even on the streets of Belfast. It's here, on your streets, in your towns and in your cities. As a stepping-stone to Europe London has become the natural staging post for international crime and with it comes gang related murder and violence. South American drug barons, Russian Mafiya and Jamaican Yardies now threaten the very existence of the traditional 'good old South London villain'. The Glory Boys tells it as it is. In graphic shocking detail former SO19 Black Team leader Steve Collins follows the trail that leads from a crack den in Brixton, through the taking out of Crazy Kenny Baker, a south London villain who was part of a notorious south London drug dealing firm, through to the climaxes involving the death of a Carribbean prime minister's son and the arrest of Pablo Esobar's brother-in-law.
