Dylan Thomas's life is almost a blueprint for the life of a bohemian poet. Born in Swansea in 1914, he knew both acclaim and despair in his lifetime, and died amid alcohol and debts in New York at the age of thirty nine. He lived his life flamboyant and self centred almost as if he had future biographers in mind. It is hard sometimes to separate the truth from myth, and to put his life into its artistic and historical context. Paul Ferris's biography, first published in 1977 (Hodder & Stoughton), is regarded by many as the definitive account. As the editor of Thomas's collected letters, Paul Ferris had access to many of the intimate sources and, since Caitlin Thomas's death in 1992, he has discovered ninety unpublished letters, many to Caitlin herself, which shed new light on Thomas's life, work and death.

The Ferris Conspiracy is one man's insight into Britain's crime world and the inextricable web of corruption. Arthur Thompson, Godfather of the crime world and senior partner of the Krays, recruited young Paul Ferris as a bagman, debt collector, and equalizer. By the age of 21 Ferris had become Glasgow's most feared gangster, deemed a risk to national security. Feared for his capacity for extreme violence matched by his intelligence, Ferris was the Godfather's heir apparent. However when gang warfare broke, underworld leaders colluded with their partners—the police. Disgusted, Ferris left the Godfather and stood alone. Thereafter he was hounded and framed by the security services, and two of the UK's most powerful gangsters tried to have him killed and then framed him. Ferris is now in prison and wants to reveal the unholy alliance between the police and the criminal fraternity.
