Description
Powder Wars: The Supergrass Who Brought Down Britain's Biggest Drug Dealers is a gripping true crime account of modern gangsters. Paul Grimes, a notorious gangster, turned undercover informant after his son's tragic death from a drugs overdose. He targeted the wealthy and successful criminal Curtis Warren, leading to a major narcotics seizure and putting Warren in the dock in the drugs trial of the twentieth century. Grimes' subsequent infiltration of John Haase's cocaine cartel and his rise to become the boss of Haase's 'security firm' are revealed in brutal detail. However, Grimes was confronted with a difficult decision when he discovered his second son was involved in the drugs business. This book also explores the controversy surrounding a Royal Pardon granted to John Haase by former Home Secretary Michael Howard. This book is a riveting account of modern gangsters, told in a detailed and unflinching style.
