Gangsters Moll

by Marilyn Wisbey

Gangsters Moll Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Marilyn Wisbey grew up alongside some of the most notorious villains of London. She is the daughter of Great Train Robber Tommy Wisbey; the goddaughter of the infamous Freddie Foreman, who was acquitted of the murder of Ginger Marks and convicted of being an accessory to murder with Reggie Kray of Jack "The Hat" McVitie; and a long time friend of Reggie and Charlie Kray. She lived with the legendary "Mad" Frank Fraser for 9 years. Marilyn has many tales to tell, and also examines the role of a "moll," what she feels about the morals of being one, the glamour, and how the public react to her. Easy to read, funny and shocking, Marilyn will tell us what it is like to be a woman in a male dominated Underworld—the rules, the taboos, the glamour, the inside secrets, the sex, and the scandal.

Synopsis:

Marilyn Wisbey grew up alongside some of the most notorious villains of London: she is the daughter of Great Train Robber Tommy Wisbey and is married to "Mad" Frankie Fraser. Her story examines the role of a "moll", what she feels about the morals of being one, and how the public react to her.

Synopsis:

"I'm Marilyn Jane Wisbey and the press always says I've got a good criminal pedigree. That's because my dad, Tommy Wisbey, was one of the Great Train Robbers. They still call it the 'Crime of the Century.' Then there's my godfather, Freddie Foreman. He did ten years for helping clean up after Jack 'The Hat' McVitie was killed by Reggie Kray. For ten years I shared my life with 'Mad' Frankie Fraser. We lived together and we loved each other. One home secretary called him 'The most dangerous man in Britain.' So you can see that all my life I've been surrounded by criminals. And over the years, I've done quite a bit too . . ." Frank, funny, and revealing, Gangster's Moll is Marilyn Wisbey's fascinating story of life at the sharp end of London's gangland — a candid account of a woman's lot in a hard man's world.
