Description
A tour of Britain's criminal underworld from one of its most notorious gangsters Sites of gruesome murders, stories of killings, frauds, jewel thefts and treachery are all part of Mad Frankie Fraser's grand tour of Britain's criminal underworld. As one of the most notorious gangsters of the 20th Century, he is perfectly placed to give us the lowdown on crimes from up and down the country, plus his take on crimes he was personally involved in and cases as yet unsolved. Written with crime author James Morton, this is the definitive guide to Britain's many lives of crime.

Having spent most of his adult life behind bars, Frankie is now enjoying living a quiet life and being able to come and go as he pleases - without having to ask permission from the Governor!
