WHO KILLED FREDDIE MILLS?

Hardback. Suicide or murder? The coroner and the police both declared Freddie Mills' death was suicide, but his family and friends could not accept that verdict.

Rumours instantly began to circulate - had he fallen foul of local, ruthless Soho gangs; was he about to be accused of murdering prostitutes (the Jack the Stripper case); was he about to go bankrupt; was he a homosexual who was devastated by the death of the ballad singer Michael Holliday? The author probes the theory that the Krays or Richardsons might have murdered him. He talked to psychiatrists about suicide. He uncovers an answer to the question 'Who killed Freddie Mills?' Illus.
