Yellow Press publishes stories from the dark side of media and politics.
True Crime, investigative journalism and public-interest exposés are our stock-in-trade.
We begin with a new genre – a collection of books about private investigators that did the illegal dirty work for tabloid newspapers, and the journalists who used them.
Today, some of those protagonists are telling their own exclusive stories for the first time.
Their memoirs straddle different worlds, from the shadowy realm of the “Dark Arts” to the glittering skyscrapers of the richest and most powerful media companies – built in part on the profits of unlawful information gathering.
By publishing accounts from different perspectives, Yellow Press will give you the complete picture of a multi-billion pound crime conspiracy.
You’ll see what we mean when you read Downfall, Shadowman, Hollywood Detective and Master of the Dark Arts.
True Crime is a dark world which Yellow Press knows well. Our proprietor Graham Johnson has written ten books about organised crime, many of them best sellers.
Shifting Sands – authored by a veteran British journalist based in Spain – is an investigation into the changing face of Marbella’s underworld, as gangsters from different countries and diverse backgrounds make a play against the old school firms from Spain, Britain, Ireland and Holland that have ruled the Costa del Crime for half-a-century.
We don’t know if investigative history is a thing. But we think it is.
Take Heidi Kingstone’s Genocide. Heidi is a veteran war reporter who uses her journalism skills to probe the links between mass murder now (Rwanda, Iraq, Syria), and then (Armenia, the Shoah.)
She tells the story in the only way she knows how – simple, straightforward copy, as though it’s been filed right off the frontline, straight into your living room.
To continue the theme,Yellow Press has commissioned a four-part series about genocide, a word that is back in mainstream use, whether it’s being shouted in the streets or typed up into UN reports, as war and protest rage across the globe.
The books are historical fiction, covering a period of 500 years from the Conquistadors, through to Nazi Germany, right up to the present day.
Yellow Press is not afraid to tackle difficult subjects.
