Reviews

This is the best expose of life as a British Undercover ever written. Joe Carter is a friend of ours. * Joe Pistone AKA Donnie Brasco, FBIs most famous UC. *
Undercover plays out like the best type of British crime novel and its easy to believe that these are made up characters in a make believe plot not because it doesnt seem plausible, but because it moves with the speed and excitement of a piece of fiction... I breezed through Undercover in a single day, it was that gripping. * Culture Fly *
a fascinating look at the darker side of British policing * Crime Review *
He writes candidly * Eastern Daily Press *
