Books by James Crosbie

James Crosbie was born in Glasgow in 1937, the middle son of three boys. At 15 he went to work in the Clydeside shipyards; at 17 he joined the RAF. Ever the adventurer, he spent several years in Ghana and Nigeria before becoming a private pilot. He started a successful furniture-importing business in Glasgow but, despite its success, James's volatile nature led him into a life of crime that culminated in the three biggest bank robberies in Scotland and him becoming the most wanted man in the UK. He earned big money but he also earned big time - 20 years of it - before finally realising that crime doesn't pay.
