Synopsis

Fascinating, frightening and inspirational autobiography of former career criminal, world-record holder and endurance athlete John McAvoy. Huge appeal to readers of various genres, but especially sport and true crime.

Written with renowned sportswriter Mark Turley. Read and discover how:

• John’s uncle Micky was one of the key players in the legendary Brinks-Mat gold bullion caper
• John bought his first gun at 16 and carved out a lucrative career in armed robbery – at one point he was one of Britain's most-wanted men
• Two spells in prison and the death of a friend on a botched heist changed his path
• During his second stint in jail he discovered a miraculous natural talent while serving life in the Belmarsh high security unit – John broke three world rowing records while still an inmate
• After his release he transformed his life, becoming one of the UK’s leading Ironman competitors
