Heavy Duty People

Iain Parke, Martin Robertson, 2010
Unleash your inner rebel with Heavy Duty People, the gritty British crime thriller that redefines the genre and introduces the world to Biker Noir. From the mean streets of a gang-infested neighbourhood to the ruthless realm of vicious gangsters, this explosive tale is a raw and unfiltered account of life on the edge. Brace yourself for a heart-pounding journey as you join Damage and his brothers, riding their thunderous bikes across the untamed Northern fells. When the coveted offer from The Brethren MC lands at Damage's club, tensions rise, and loyalties are tested. Will they remain true to their brotherhood, or will the allure of power and wealth drive them apart? As the wheels spin and the wind howls, long-buried secrets and a history steeped in blood-soaked oil threaten to resurface. The question is, can they survive the storm? Prepare for the ride of your life.

Heavy Duty Attitude

Iain Parke, 2012
Iain had written a book about The Brethren MC and how powerful they could be. He knew it was a dangerous thing to have done, whether they liked it or not, and one that had taken him part way into their world. And now it was his turn. Now a new President, with big boots to fill, was going to make him an offer he was going to find difficult to refuse, and once in the outlaw biker’s world, steeped in the smells of engine oil and leather, would he ever be able to get out again? And as an outsider on the inside, with serious trouble looming, who, if anyone, can he trust?

Heavy Duty Trouble

Iain Parke, 2012
"I’m a dead man talking, I know that. Realistically there’s no way I’m getting out of this alive. The only thing I have a choice about is when I stop writing. And despite that, and despite the fact that whatever he says, I still think it was Wibble who really got me into all of this shit, the weird thing is, he’s also the only slim hope I have of ever getting out." Having got too far into the dangerous world of The Brethren MC for comfort, Iain was now out again, but out in bad standing. He has been in hiding in Ireland when he discovers that not only do Wibble and Charlie both know where he lives, but that he’s now wanted by both sides as a potentially bloody biker conflict heads towards its final showdown and worse, a trial in front of the media. But as the case unfolds in Court, the questions become more and more urgent. Is everything what it seems, and who, if anyone, knows or is telling the truth?

Operation Bourbon

The First Chapter
Iain Parke, 2013
"Then he said the words that we’d all been dreading to hear, We’ve got a rat." Targeting the Rebels MC, at a staggering twenty-four years total length, Operation Bourbon was the longest running police undercover and infiltration mission ever conducted in the UK. Now for the first time the story of the operation can be told based on Iain Parke’s extensive conversations with the officer involved, together with extracts from police files and surveillance materials, as well as never before seen interviews with club members and associates, and sections of club documentation showing how the club was set up and run. The result is an astonishing tale of fundamental betrayals at every level, as both bikers and police are forced to ask themselves who they can really trust.

Lord of the Isles

The Next Chapter
Iain Parke, 2014
Of course, Buddha was a legend, Bung knew that. One of the founding members who created the club, he’d taken the toughest of the sixties’ rockers and hard arsed brawlers, and turned them into the foundation of what the club is today. But Buddha is long gone, disappeared a dozen years ago, missing presumed dead… until now. Now, a mysterious note and package sends Bung and The Beast on a true road trip out from the smoke, criss-crossing the country, meeting friends and enemies on their way, until at the windswept barren edge of the world, the club’s past from the days of mods and rockers fighting on the beaches, it’s present, and it’s future collide explosively. And for Bung, it’s personal.

Dilligaf: A Life in Chapters

Iain Parke, 2015
Bomber is an outlaw. Bomber is a man with a code. Bomber is a man who is completely straight. Bomber is a man who always looks to do the right thing. And Bomber above all else, is a man who is absolutely loyal to his family. Both of them. Well, two out of three anyway.

The Ultimate Biker Anthology

An Introduction To Books About Motorcycle Clubs And Outlaw Bikers
Iain Parke, Edward Winterhalder, 2021
Outlaw bikers and 1%er motorcycle clubs have always carefully guarded their privacy, however in recent years more and more books have come to be written by and about outlaw bikers, the lifestyle, and the realities of life inside the patched motorcycle club world. This anthology brings together some of the best authors in the world, who have recently written about motorcycle clubs, outlaw bikers and the biker culture. The book features excerpts from internationally well-known authors such as Peter Edwards, Tony Thompson, Edward Winterhalder and Iain Parke, but also contains literary work from those who are relatively unknown and those who have only achieved recognition on a local scale. Covering both factual accounts of life inside clubs such as the Hells Angels, Satan’s Choice, Bandidos, Rock Machine, and the Outlaws, as well as leading examples of biker based fiction that explore the images of bikers and crucial themes such as loyalty, respect and honor, this compilation is intended to introduce the reader to the secretive world of motorcycle clubs and outlaw bikers.
