MAD FRANK'S DIARY A chronicle of the life of Britain's most notorious villain

Hardback. 1st Edn. SIGNED BY JAMES MORTON. Mad Frankie Fraser has become a household name, known to millions as one of London's most notorious gangsters. His shocking stories of his life of crime have become the stuff of legend, but in this book he delves into areas he has never chosen, or never dared, to talk about before. Taking the form of a diary, the book chronicles Frank's memories from various days of the year, recalling incidents from throughout his eventful life and criminal career in a way that is both revealing and compulsive. While this book gives Frank the chance to respond to statements made in other books written by his contemporaries, the main focus is on stories which are previously unpublished: stories about his family and the underworld; being brought up in the midst of gangland; prison escapes; unsolved murders; police corruption; bribery; extortion; wrongful convictions and even sex in prison.
