Risk Against Reward: How I survived the American Justice System
Carl Battie is the author of a gripping true-crime memoir chronicling a life spent navigating high-stakes schemes across England, Spain, Germany, and the United States. Labelled a criminal mastermind by the Federal DA in Dallas, his career in sophisticated financial crime, bank fraud, and real estate scams eventually led to a high-profile arrest in Decatur, Georgia, and over a decade in some of America’s most notorious prisons. This memoir isn’t a celebration of crime—it’s a candid look at the consequences of a life built on risk, deception, and ambition gone wrong. At 67, Carl was deported back to London with nothing but the clothes on his back and the challenge of starting over. Through his story, he offers readers an unflinching exploration of resilience, reinvention, and the journey to reclaim a life beyond mistakes.
