KRAZY DAYS

Softcover. The true story of the East End underworld between the late 1950s and 1980s, including the infamous Kray twins and the man who was part of their intimate circle. The auithor paints a vivid picture of life with and beyond the Krays as well as the murderous war of the 70s which saw the East End gangs vying for position in the vacuum left by the twins' imprisonment, with countless knifings and shootings, not to mention frequent bombings and murders. With unprecedented insight into the private life of a man whom even the Krays respected - the notorious Billy Hill - Micky not only details Hill's criminal dealings with men such as Marcel Francisci, the Boss of the Union Corse, but also divulges facts regarding Hill's unconventional sex life that only his closest confidantes knew. This is Fawcett's fascinating account of an almost surreal world of sex, violence and paranoia, where one of the key rules was 'kill first or be killed'. Illus. 223pp. trade size softcover. As New with no marks or creasing to covers.
