Synopsis
MAD FRANK - Frankie Fraser's own extraordinary story - the truth about the legendary villain who for fifty years was a key figure in Britain's underworld. A peer of the Krays and the Richardsons, arguably as influential and certainly as dangerous. Fraser has served over forty years in prisons and mental institutions for his various crimes. MAD FRANK AND FRIENDS - Frankie Fraser made hundreds of enemies over his fifty-year criminal career. His second volume of memoirs explains why the criminal code to which he belonged produced alliances that were equally as powerful and far more enduring.

Review
In this compelling memoir Fraser recounts his past in the gangs, the killings, the revenge and the dealing with notorious names such as the Krays and the Richardsons * NEWTOWNARDS CHRONICLE * Vivid and brutally honest account of a life revolving around crime * BOLTON EVENING NEWS * Horrific account of his life and crimes * SOUTH WALES ECHO * Macabre, malignant and malevolent, Mad Frank is an incredible phenomenon ... fascinating * SCALLYWAG * The full, violent story. Read it if you have the stomach. * GLASGOW EVENING TIMES * Pulls no punches ... compelling reading * KENT TODAY * Fascinating ... reads like a Who's Who of the British criminal class * COVENTRY EVENING TELEGRAPH * un-put-downable. * BIRMINGHAM SUNDAY MERCURY * I read it from cover to cover in two days, hypnotised by the larger- than-life characters * CAMBRIDGE EVENING NEWS * Evokes a vanished era * INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY * Colourful ... chilling * SUNDAY EXPRESS * One of the most feared villains in London's underworld ... Actors cast as villains would do well to study on Mad Frankie * TIME OUT * An amazing account of the workings of criminal families in Britain * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH * Fascinating ... a chilling account of a truly dangerous person * DAILY EXPRESS * There is a mesmeric quality to the sheer accumulation of infamous names dropped by Fraser, coupled, often, with the injuries they sustained after coming to his attention ... His memory for details is clearly undiminished - not for those of a delicate disposition ... chillingly unrepentant story * THE TIMES * The British have a soft spot for villains, especially the criminally bewildered, and Mad Frank, now in his 70s, has become part of the heritage trail ... A pivotal figure in any history of England's gangland ... a harrowing book * John McVicar, SUNDAY TIMES *
