Harry Parker is a former grifter/ hustler/ con man whatever word you want to use. These days he works as a consultant for security firms, internet providers, several government departments as well as being a regular contributor to various TV and radio programmes.

The Real Hustlers is his take on grifting his way through the 90s in London including mad nights with some of the old Kray Twins firm, nuns in stilettos, a naked estate agent, carrier bags of cash and sticking up a drug dealer in a chapter that would have made a great episode of Hustle.

Gripping and often hilarious it tells the tale not only of what two lads got up to, but also their dealing with some hilarious "plastic gangster" characters, most of whom "got theirs".

Read and enjoy.
