Description

Behind the fashionable bars and clubs of Soho lies a complex history of criminal activity. From the razor gangs of the 1920s to the post-war gangsters who dominated the area, Soho has been a hub for thieves, conmen, drug dealers, notorious pimps, and crooked lawyers. This book vividly portrays the crimes and criminals that have given Soho its infamous reputation. It explores the stories of those who lived and breathed in this world, including the Kray-Richardson gang, a Second World War Jack the Ripper, and the gangland murder of boxer Freddie Mills. Through it all, James Morton sheds light on the darker side of London's most notorious district.
