RUNNING WITH THE KRAYS My Life in London's Gangland.

Hardback, 1st edn. A book which lifts the lid off London's underworld, from street gangs and race-course con games to protection rackets, beatings, maimings, intimidation and even murders. It reveals elements of police corruption and provides insights into the interdependence of both sides of the underworld scene. It is peppered with names which were household words in Britain during the 1950s and 1960s - Kray, Lambrianou, Rachman, the Richardsons, Jack Spot - but also brings the story through to the early 1990s. It is a compelling and gruesome account of how the other half of London lives. Illus. 207pp. 8vo. h/back. As New in dw.
