ROUGH JUSTICE Memoirs of a Gangster

Paperback. Maurice Ward had just completed his autobiography when he was brutally murdered in front of his family. This book is his remarkable book. Sincere and refreshingly honest, Ward describes his life documenting the tragic events which ultimately turned him into a vicious criminal. From his incarceration inside an industrial school, where he suffered abuse at the hands of his religious guardians, Ward writes about his emergence onto the streets of Dublin where his name soon became synonymous with organised crime, bank heists and drug trafficking. Not only does Ward confess to many unsolved crimes but he also reveals how he passed information to the gardai which ultimately brought about the demise of criminal gangs. In recent years, he dedicated his life to campaigning for the survivors of child abuse; tragically he was murdered at the height of his crusade. Illus. 231pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
