Beschreibung

Everyone loves the stories, the half-truths, the what-ifs. Well, to know what really happened, you had to be there. Sometimes the real truth is ugly, hard to stomach if you are not used to that way of life.

Meet Frank Fraser, one of the most infamous figures in gangland history. Before his death he talked to writer Beezy Marsh about his rise from small kid stealing to put food on the table to respected West End crime boss - and revealed what he really thought of the Krays and Richardsons.

And meet Frank's sister Eva, a top-class shoplifter in the Forty Thieves gang, and his sons David and Patrick, who describe their own nefarious careers for the first time. Growing up with sawn-off shotguns in the house, it's no surprise that the boys were robbing banks by the time they were in their twenties.

Featuring some of the most famous names in the London underworld, taking us from jewellery heists and bank raids to violent feuds and prison riots, Mad Frank and Sons is a gripping, no-holds-barred story of a family living outside the law.
