Opis

Travelling only with his golf clubs, a .45 revolver and a suitcase full of cash, this is the legendary story of a man who was married five times to five different girls, the oldest just 18 on her wedding day, and of a man who murdered five men, though he'd say 'they'd all agree they had it coming to them'.
