Dave Courtney's heroes and villains

Dave Courtney, described by the press as 'one of the most feared men on the streets of London' reveals the characters, both fictional and all too real that have most influenced his colourful life.

As you might expect, Dodgy Dave's ideas of what constitutes a hero and a villain is at times a little, well, dodgy.

Dave challenges our notions of what it is to be heroic in his usual candid and witty style.

With ten of his best heroes including Ned Kelly, Edward G Robinson and Al Capone and villains from his own past such as the Krays, Bruce Reynolds and Joey Pyle, Dave Courtney's Heroes and Villains is a fascinating insight into their lives from a unique angle - from someone who knows - and into the inspiration behind the man.
