than that – it's a great read whether you're on a beach or not." According to The Independent: "Duncan Campbell skilfully traces how the paradise trail upon which these naive hopefuls stumble leads painfully back to the very selves they had hoped to flee." Campbell's second novel was If It Bleeds (2009), which one reviewer summed up by saying: "What you've got here is a cracking good yarn, told with verve and humour. Can we have a follow-up?" Non-fiction Campbell has written several nonfiction books, including a history of British crime from the 1930s to the 1990s (The Underworld, 1994 — based on the BBC television series) and That Was Business, This Is Personal (1990 — a series of interviews with criminals and those who pursue them). A Stranger and Afraid (1997) covers the story of Caroline Beale. Campbell's 2016 book We'll All Be Murdered In Our Beds draws on his many years as a crime correspondent; about which the Evening Standard wrote: "A strong sense of nostalgia runs throughout this zany catalogue of atrocity and achievement", while The Guardian reviewer called the book "by turns amusing, engaging, horrifying and, yes, thoughtful. It is not merely a catalogue of the goriest and most notorious crimes, but a fascinating description of the often corrupt relationship between Fleet Street's finest and the police." Cambell's latest (2019) book, The Underworld: The inside story of Britain’s professional and organised crime, was a The Sunday Times Bestseller.
