The bastard offspring of cocaine, crack first entered the UK in the early 1990s.

By the end of the decade Britain's inner cities were in the midst of a crack epidemic, with users being responsible for a massive proportion of crime - 95% of street shootings are crack-related, for example. Communities, especially in London, were crying out for help, but there were only two specialist units in the whole of the capital.

One of them, Haringey Drugs Squad, embarked on a war on crack, aiming to shut down all 100 crack houses in their borough in one year. Amazingly, they did it. Harry Keeble, who was the leader of this team, describes in heart-stopping fashion a series of breathtaking raids as well as arrests, beatings, stabbings and shootings.

Featuring a colourful team of family men who regularly faced death, Crack House takes the reader into the dark heart of our cities' most violent and terrifying places, showing how the war on drugs can only be won by constant and forceful vigilance.
