Deep Cover: My double life as an undercover criminal

0/5 ( ratings)

Street kid turned undercover cop.

'This time he wasn't getting up. Neither were the two young women he'd just murdered. The two unarmed young police officers he cut down in a hail of 32 bullets and the fragments of a grenade, ending their promising lives so savagely, so senselessly. I felt empty. Cold. How had it come to this?'

Shane grew up on a tough council estate in north Manchester where drugs and organised crime were rife. A life of crime would have been an easy path to take. So it went against everything that was expected of him when he joined the police.

Working his way up the leagues, it wouldn't be long before Shane's talent caught the attention of the top. Then came the call that changed his life: an offer to join the undercover team as a Level One Officer. And it was easy to see why they wanted him: he wouldn't have to stray too far from what he already knew. He had all the attributes of a professional criminal: the athletic physique of a cage fighter, the talk, the walk. Streetwise and fearless, he'd be a match for the most hardened villain. So, he was given a new name, his DNA and fingerprints were removed from the national database, and so began the life of Michael Lydiate.

In a distinguished career spanning 17years, Shane infiltrated some of the biggest gangland feuds while working as a double agent. But there would be a heavy price to pay for a life in the shadows, where any mistake could have lethal consequences...
