A strange and magical picaresque romance by master storyteller Jonathan Levi

Hatton Garden... straight from the horse's mouth, as told to the factual producer on ITV's new Hatton Garden drama series. For this team of old-school career criminals, The Hatton Garden Heist was supposed to be one last job, the fortune that would sort their retirement for good. The plan was to smash in and grab tens of millions of pounds from beneath the world-famous gold-and-jewellery district, and get away to live in luxury. But somewhere it all went wrong. Now, for the first time ever, we hear what happened from the gang behind bars. Based on exclusive interviews and featuring shocking revelations from their associates, this explosive and gripping read includes fresh information on the whereabouts of 'Basil' - the only robber still at large - and evidence from unheard sources. This is the full story of one of the most audacious crimes in British history.

Broadmoor. Few place names in the world have such chilling resonance. For over 150 years, it has contained the UK's most violent, dangerous and psychopathic. Since opening as an asylum for the criminally insane in 1863 it has housed the perpetrators of many of the most shocking and appalling crimes in history; including Jack the Ripper suspect James Kelly, serial killers Peter Sutcliffe, John Straffen and Kenneth Erskine, murderer and rapist Robert Napper, the teacup poisoner Graham Young, armed robber Charles Bronson, East End gangster Ronnie Kray, child killer Ian Brady, London nail bomber David Copeland and cannibal Peter Bryan. The truth about what goes on behind the Victorian walls of the high-security hospital has largely remained a mystery, but now with unprecedented access investigative journalist Jonathan Levi and cultural historian Emma French reveal all, after spending 12 months observing and speaking to those on the inside. Based on research from Broadmoor's closely guarded archives, interviews with the staff that work there including nurses, psychiatrists, therapists, security guards and above all the patients themselves, Inside Broadmoor is the most comprehensive study of the institution to-date

A dazzling and moving novel that evokes Garcia Marquez and David Mitchell, for fans of Garcia Marquez, Rushdie, Gunther Grass and David Mitchell
