Book description
Inside the world of the Krays.
The Kray Twins were a formidable criminal partnership. Shrewd, quick-witted, ruthless, they possessed a charisma that was at once glamorous and deadly. Celebrities, film stars, con-men and killers were attracted to their curious mix of charm and violence, and their reign of terror in the mean streets of London’s East End continues to exert a compulsive fascination.
Now, John Dickson, a close and trusted henchman of the Krays for many years, tells the inside story of their notorious gangland underworld. He describes the murders of George Cornell, Jack "the Hat" McVitie and "Mad Axeman" Frank Mitchell; the extortion, protection and gambling rackets; the Mafia connections; entertaining the famous in the flashier West End nightspots; the increasingly erratic and senselessly violent behaviour of the Twins and their final dramatic arrest at a time when they had built up so fearsome a reputation thet they were convinced they were invincible.
