Synopses & Reviews
Having delved into the minds of the world's most notorious murderers and published his findings in Talking with Serial Killers, renowned true-crime author Christopher Berry-Dee now turns his attention to the machinations of the gangster's mind and documents the extent of their cruelty and brutishness. From Tam McGraw, one of Scotland's most infamous gangsters, to "public enemy number one" Kenny Noye, every type of British gangster is examined. Although they are all very different, they do share a particular trait: a willingness to do anything to get what they want. While the reader may be able to breathe a sigh of relief that the characters in this book have been banished from our streets, Gangland UK is also a sharp reminder of the dangers still out there. Here are the startling portaits of those criminals who we would rather forget . . . but won't be able to.
