A peer of the Krays and the Richardsons, arguably as influential and certainly as dangerous, Fraser has served over 40 years in prisons and mental institutions for his various crimes. MAD FRANK - A man who has been at the cutting edge of crime in this country, and who took the time to sharpen it while he was there.

Reviews

'The British have a soft spot for villains, especially the criminally bewildered, and Mad Frank, now in his 70s, has become part of the heritage trail' SUNDAY TIMES 'His memory for details is clearly undiminished - not for those of a delicate disposition' THE TIMES 'I read it from cover to cover in two days, hypnotised by the larger- than-life characters' CAMBRIDGE EVENING NEWS 'un-put-downable.'
