Winner of the 2016 CWA gold dagger for nonfiction

Callous murderer, outlaw hero or victim of the system? The topic of Andrew Hankinson’s book defies all such labels.

After killing his ex-girlfriend’s new lover, shooting her within the stomach, and blinding a policeman, Raoul Moat disappeared into the woods of Northern England, evading discovery for seven days. Moat captured the general public imagination; he soon had a web based following. Ultimately, cornered by the police, Moat shot himself.

Drawing on extensive research―including many hours of tapes Moat recorded while he was once at large―Hankinson tells Moat’s story the usage of Moat’s own words, and the ones of the welfare agencies which engaged with him. The result’s an unprecedented examination of violent breakdown; an electrifying nonfiction narrative within the tradition of Hunter S. Thompson and Norman Mailer.
