Dean Rinaldi makes his non-fiction debut with this hard-hitting historical account of 70's illegal street racing. The Harris's shoots down the myths and exposes the lengths the fearsome family would go to achieve their ambitions and become one of Britain's most formidable, respected and intimidating families.
Ron Snr, Jeff & Andy Harris are intelligent, witty, charismatic straight-talkers who live by a strict code of conduct. Their names are synonymous with highly-modified street cars, violence and illegal street racing. As they stamped down hard and enforced the family's reputation as No 1 on Britain's streets, they attracted bloody, violent clashes with their rivals and the police.
The Harris philosophy is simple:
'If it's racing on the streets or a tear up on the cobbles, then losing just aint an option.'
I've read and been entertained by all three of Dean Rinaldi's books.In my view the man owns the street racing genre. He writes with passion, its almost like he's reading the story to you. I'm sold. I dont know what book will come next but...I'll be reading it!
Just finished reading the The Harris's and what a read it was, brilliant couldn't stop reading it. This is real life action and will blow fast and the furious out of the water. Just ordered Dean's new book Britain's Street Racing Legends cant wait to read it :)
Brilliant!!!! I bought 'The Harris's' at Incarnation Brighton and met the author Dean Rinaldi. His enthusiasm for modified cars and the people in the scene was just so genuine - top guy! I started reading as soon as I got home and read it all in just 3 days. This would make one hell of a film! The scene today just doesnt have the same level of violence its more sex drugs and great cars. I cant wait for his next book 'The Modders!'
