Synopsis
Bristling with a razor-sharp wit, The Burglar Diaries is the first person account of petty thief Bex: a bit of a geezer who, with long time partner-in-crime Ollie, just about gets by on the money he makes from house-breaking in small town suburbia.
Not the sharpest tools in the box, Bex and Ollie get into more than their fair share of scrapes, but they stick together, have a laugh, and make enough cash to stay in the pub all weekend. A confident and lippy raconteur, Bex frequently shares his thoughts on life which are as dodgy as he is and offer an hilarious insight into the mind of the petty criminal.
Reviews
‘An absolutely hilarious, laugh out loud book by someone who has been there’ Bruce Reynolds, mastermind of The Great Train Robbery
‘Occasionally hilarious, if morally dubious, The Burglar Diaries is well worth buying – and definitely worth half-inching’ GQ
‘This is the sweet-as-a-nut, hilariously un-PC account of the jobs [Bex] has known and loved - the line-ups, the lock-ups and the cock-ups. If ever there was an antidote to Bridget Jones’s Diary this is it. The Burglar Diaries is the first in a series. Long may it run' Mirror
