Opis

In the late 1950s as the dust was still settling from the destruction caused by World War II. The only way for a young man to get ahead was to bend the rules on both sides of the law and never back down to anyone or anything. A young man such as this emerged from the poverty-stricken streets of the industrial heartland, a man that would change the face of Birmingham forever. Eddie Fewtrell controls Birmingham's nightlife with an iron glove. But his path to success isn't an easy one. Deadly, gangland confrontations, family betrayals, and assassination attempts by two of the country's most infamous gangsters, the Kray twins, all threaten to topple the crown from the head of the self-proclaimed, King of Clubs, in this desperate battle for power over Great Britain's second city. The most controversial books ever to be written about Birmingham's history, and for the first time under one cover, parts one to three of the Accidental Gangster covering the 1960s to the 1980s including a special factual section and photographs covering the background to the stories and legends are here in this limited edition, trilogy hardback.
