Description
Scratch beneath the surface of any family and secrets of abuse, illegitimacy, and intrigue are often revealed. For Lilian Pizzichini's grandfather, these were more sinister due to his involvement with notorious gangsters in London.
This book is a vivid account of his life, recreating the world of criminals and corrupt policemen he dominated until his death in 1978. It's a story that will leave you thinking about cunning, corruption, hardship, and secrecy, set against the glamorous backdrop of a mysterious city.
