Their collaboration has produced one of the most intriguing, significant, and shocking publications for many years...Kate Kray has access to the most dangerous men in Britain.

Her bestselling books Hard Bastards and Hard Bastards 2, and the accompanying television series, have created a whole new subcurrent of literature portraying the gritty reality of violence in Britain in all its many forms. David Bailey has been following Kate's work from the very beginning.

Now he has asked to accompany her round the country to photograph all the most terrifying men Kate knows. Diamond Geezers is an astonishing piece of work. An intriguing mixture of shockingly frank interviews, gripping reportage and Bailey's exclusive photography, it is lavishly produced, artistically significant and utterly compelling. Once in a generation, a book comes along that is genuinely groundbreaking.
