Parkhurst Tales

Norman Parker has spent over half his life in prison. From his arrival in Parkhurst in the early 1970s as a category A prisoner, convicted of murder, he mixed at close quarters with some of Britain's hardest cases, high-profile criminals like Reg and Ron Kray and the Great Train Robbers, including 'Buster' Edwards. Parker is a natural observer of the human condition, and he brings sharp intelligence and a gift for story-telling to the rich material at his disposal. The world he describes is more dangerous and strange than you could ever imagine.
