Informer: Life in the Shadows as an Undercover Agent

A gripping true crime account of police informants, undercover work, and the risks and moral complexities behind criminal investigations.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they're beautiful or useful. Others are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and someone fascinated by the realities behind policing, organised crime, and the difficult moral choices people make. He enjoyed books that looked beyond the headlines to show what really happened behind closed doors. This is one of those books.

Written by Ron Farebrother and Martin Short, this compelling true crime account explores the hidden world of police informants and undercover operations. It reveals the risks, secrecy, divided loyalties, and constant pressure faced by those living between the criminal underworld and law enforcement, while examining the human cost of gathering intelligence from inside dangerous organisations.

Every book in Dad's collection has been individually photographed and honestly described, so you know exactly what you're buying. If you're interested in true crime, policing, undercover investigations, or the hidden side of criminal justice, this is a fascinating and thought-provoking read.

Arya's Approval
Right darlings, this is a tense, serious look at the hidden side of investigations. It shows the pressure, the danger, and the moral complexity that comes with informant work, and it does not glamorise it. If you want true crime that feels real, this one delivers.
★★★★★ 5 PAWS, Arya, Chief Drama Officer & True Crime Reviewer
