Gang of One: One Man's Incredible Battle to Find His Missing Daughter by Gary Mulgrew

You're from Glasgow. You're in a notorious Texas prison. You're on your own. The true story of the man who became a ... Gang of One.

'Mulgrew's combination of personal insight and dark, subversive humour makes his new, autobiographical account of jail, GANG OF ONE a really special read, a kind of prison version of, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' -- Catherine Deveny, Herald Magazine 'An entertaining read'. -- Guardian 'An eye-opening account of US jails...fascinating reading'. -- Libby Purves, Midweek, BBC Radio 4 'Utterly engaging'. -- Richard Bacon, BBC Radio 5 Live 'An absolutely fascinating story... an absolutely cracking read'. -- Iain Dale, LBC Book Club 'Confirms my worst fears about American jails...the real tragedy of this book was the human tragedy'. -- Jeff Randall, Sky News 'An absolute education...a fantastic book'. -- Pat Kenny, RTE 'A compelling new account of two blood-splattered years spent at the hands of America's penal system'. -- Mail On Sunday 'Anyone who still believes that we should be sending people to American-style jails should read the description of the violent Texas prison in Gary Mulgrew's GANG OF ONE'. -- New Statesman 'Through his gripping story, Mulgrew's force of character shines through in a compelling tale of one man's determination to go his own way, shunning the approaches of prison gangs who tried to recruit him and decided to run his own "Gang of One"'. -- Press Association 'The gang warfare, gruelling conditions and emotional distress make for a haunting read. A fascinating fly-on-the-wall account of prison life. For readers who loved Marching Powder.' -- Marie Claire 'Mulgrew's combination of personal insight and dark, subversive humour makes his new, autobiographical account of jail, GANG OF ONE a really special read, a kind of prison version of, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.' -- Herald 'Mulgrew offers a raw vision of prison life that echoes The Shawshank Redemption.' -- The Sydney Morning Herald

Gary Mulgrew was born in Glasgow in 1962 and lived there until he graduated from the University of Strathclyde. He joined NatWest Bank in 1983 and worked for them in Manchester, London, Tokyo and New York before joining the Royal Bank of Canada in 2000. His banking career ended in June 2002 when he was indicted by the US authorities for allegedly defrauding NatWest. After years of court battles and a high profile public campaign, he and two other members of the 'NatWest Three' were eventually extradited to America. Two years of detention in Houston, Texas were followed by two years in seven different prisons in the United States and England until his full release in early 2010. He now runs a number of successful businesses in the south of England, supported by his bankers, NatWest.
