EAST END GANGLAND - In this fascinating and revealing book, James Morton looks back at the crimes and the criminals that have given the East End its legendary reputation: the Sabini brothers, nicknamed 'The Italian Mob', whose extortion racket was helped by a close relationship with the police; the fight, in the 1950s, for 'King of the Underworld' between Jack Spot and Billy Hill; the rise and fall of the Krays and many others.... INTERNATIONAL GANGLAND - Fast-paced and wide-ranging, this book considers the history of organised crime, from the Italian and American Mafia to the Triads, the Russian mafiya, the Japanese Yakuza and the South American drug cartels.

The name Reggie Kray remains synonymous with London's East End to this day, and yet although much is known about Reg and his brother Ronnie's life of crime in the '50s and '60s, to date precious little has been revealed about their formative years. Reggie wrote his EAST END STORIES in the early 1990s, but they haven't seen the light of day until now. In the book, he recalls the close-knit East End community in which he and his brother grew up, the characters in his family and neighbourhood, and of course, the many villains he worked with. Filled with anecdotes about the area's most outlandish personalities and notorious criminals, and offering a fascinating journey around the Krays' 'manor' including their favourite haunts and business enterprises, the book paints a vivid portrait of a London that has long since disappeared.

While many lawyers are honest, for Gangland figures, the best lawyer is often corrupt – a ‘shyster’ – who will act as a go between with the police, provide false alibis, bribe and intimidate witnesses, jurors and judges and occasionally organise robberies and burglaries. Sometimes these lawyers even kill or may be killed themselves. Gangland: The Lawyers brings us such lawyers as Frank Ragan, who acted for three mob leaders, and James Sawyer, the barrister and forger involved in the first Great train Robbery. From the amazing story of Gambino crime boss John Gotti (the ‘Teflon Don’) and his attorney Bruce Cutler, to the American judge Joseph Peel, who had his co-judge killed, James Morton presents a worldwide history of these shady individuals and their seedy but compelling stories.
