SO19, the Metropolitan Police Special Firearms Wing is an awesome squad of gunfighters who daily defend the public from evil. Here Sergeant Steve Collins, who led Black Team, the hardest and most renowned team within the unit, tells their story.

Yardies, international drug barons, IRA enforcers, celebrity South London gangsters and hitmen have all been taken off the streets by the true life heroes of SO19 either in handcuffs or in bodybags.

The tensions and camaraderie of a team who daily risk death has never been captured so vividly on the page.
