Crime & Punishment

Derek chats with debut crime novelist Don Spillane about his book ‘Hustling the Mob’, Don’s time as a Metropolitan Police detective, East End criminals, and the justice system – past and present.

About the Book

My novel follows Joshua, a brilliant hacker, and Sarah, a master safe cracker, as they navigate the dangerous waters between organized crime and international espionage. What starts as their usual operation – targeting criminal bank accounts – quickly escalates when an assassination attempt forces them to seek help from a Middle Eastern spy chief. Their subsequent mission in the Cayman Islands entangles them with a corrupt banker, the New Jersey mafia, and an international arms deal.
