Author Description

Roger "the Dodger" Ford is one of Britain’s most captivating criminal characters. During a career spanning decades he’s been the brains behind a whole host of crafty cons, burglaries, counterfeits, and heists. He made millions from a 10 pence phone call and has gone from being broke to flying first class in 24 hours. Targeting those who themselves weren’t totally law abiding, Roger has been in a few scrapes that almost defy belief—but he is no underworld mastermind, or street-tough gangster bully. Born into a comfortable working class home in London, and a clever and obedient pupil at school, Roger the Dodger offers no excuses for his remarkable exploits. Crime paid, and he was simply very good at what he did. Diamonds, cash, jewelry. Many men have embarked on the type of journey that he has taken—but few have met with the success Roger conjured up. He’s helped the police with many an enquiry, and not always come up smelling of roses, but Roger’s not stupid. He’s seen the error of his ways and is determined to put his life of crime behind him once and for all.
