Between the wars there was a dramatic upsurge of violence as rival criminal gangs vied for rich pickings from bookmakers and racetracks in England. This well researched and gripping account of the activities of gangs such as a Sabinis, the Cortesi family, the Titanics and the Nile Mob, describes the vicious dramas that played out around horse racing and gambling in the 1920s and 1930s.
