Made in London - A Dog Called Horse Jack Dryden

The amazing true story of the extraordinary life of Paul Henry Jarvis né Byfield. To say that Paul Henry Jarvis has had an unusual life would be a gross understatement. With a CV that includes London rent-boy, big-time drug dealer and prolific shoplifter, Paul has also escaped the clutches of a serial killer, lived with Sinéad O'Connor for over a year and survived two chronic bouts of heroin addiction. Throw into the mix a boyfriend who is infamous for being the main protagonist in the first case of royal blackmail for over a century, and the picture begins to build of how an ordinary man has managed to live an extraordinary life. This is the true, warts and all, story of that man. 'It is not just a fascinating story of one remarkable life but also a social document. The narrative is very readable and unassuming - almost like chatting to someone in a pub' Emeritus Professor Michael Patterson. 'A real eye-opener of a book with a totally engrossing story. Most lives are so tame compared to this one' Norah Roberts. 'Paul has led a truly amazing life and made it out the other side to tell the tale. As soon as I started reading it I couldn't put it down' Leigh Brown. 'One of the best reads I have had since Mr Grey - I was captivated from the start' Adele Orchard.
