Inhaltsangabe

Fascinating, frightening and inspirational autobiography of former career criminal, world-record holder and endurance athlete John McAvoy. Huge appeal to readers of various genres, but especially sport and true crime.

Written with renowned sportswriter Mark Turley. Read and discover how:

  • John’s uncle Micky was one of the key players in the legendary Brinks-Mat gold bullion caper
  • John bought his first gun at 16 and carved out a lucrative career in armed robbery – at one point he was one of Britain's most-wanted men
  • Two spells in prison and the death of a friend on a botched heist changed his path
  • During his second stint in jail he discovered a miraculous natural talent while serving life in the Belmarsh high security unit – John broke three world rowing records while still an inmate
  • After his release he transformed his life, becoming one of the UK’s leading Ironman competitors

Redemption is a first-hand and fast-paced account of a life turned around – the ultimate story of sporting salvation.
