The scary part is the two parallel worlds that he portrays and how on going to a town he managed to pick out the people to contact and within a couple of introductions he was face to face with some of the most dangerous people at loose in the country.
Also scary was the attitude of some of the police in this and how they make the problems worse and put him and other people in more dangers.
A really interesting, honest account of the drug dealing sub culture in the UK.
The W.F. Howes Audio book was really good.
