The Gypsy Code

The true story of hide-and-seek in a violent underworld




Gripping, action-packed and utterly unique, The Gypsy Code is the true story of a violent game of hide-and-seek at the fringes of society

Mike Woodhouse had everything: an engineering business, a wine bar, a home, a Range Rover and a boat. Then he caught a group of travellers stealing from his warehouse. A car chase, petrol bombing and court case later, and everything had changed.

A marked man, Mike was forced to leave everything behind and move to the Peak District for a fresh start. But his old life was never far behind and when he fell for Rhoda, a Romany Gypsy, kin to the very people he was hiding from, he knew he wouldn't be safe for much longer . . .
The Gypsy Code is a true story of secret identity, revenge and forbidden love that's perfect for fans of Running with the Firm, Undercover and Soldier Spy.

Praise for The Gypsy Code

With a car chase, violence and beautiful women, it reads like a thriller

The Sunday Times

The Gypsy Code [is] about how he turned from staunch critic of the travelling community to one who saw the good in them - and, for a while, even became one of them. It is a story of his road to redemption but what changed his mind? In a word: love

Daily Express

A violent underworld feud, car chases, petrol bombings and court cases, to being offered a home by gypsies, Mike Woodhouse's eventful life sounds like the plot of a novel . . . [an] incredible riches to rags story
