Description:
London: Robson, 2008. 372 pp, 7 3/4" H. B&w plates. "London is a city that thrives on crime and the myths of crime, as its violent history and the colourful portrayal of criminals in fiction, from Defoe to Dickens, attest. (This book) examines the murky underside ot the capital, surveying three centuries of vice and crime and a variety of perilous underworlds. Linnane's writing is full of vivid detail as he describes the city's underworld characters, such as the loathed, murderous, eighteenth century bounty hunter Jonathan Wild, the Italian Sabini gang which dominated London in the early twentieth century, and the more recent Billy Hill, Jack Spot, Frankie Fraser, Kray twins and Adams family. (It) takes us on the nightmarish last journeys of condemned criminals to the gallows at Tyburn. We enter death-trap eighteenth century prisons, one of which the novelist Henry Fielding described as a 'prototype of hell'. We walk the crowded streets of Victorian London with its…

Description:
United Kingdom: Robson Book Ltd, 2004. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7 in to 9 in Tall. Soft cover. Very good condition. London is a city that thrives on crime and the myths of crime, attested to by its violent history and depiction in literature. In London's Underworld, Fergus Linnane examines three centuries of crime. He takes us on the nightmarish last journeys of condemned criminals to the gallows. We enter an 18th-century prison, described by novelist Henry Fielding as the "prototype of hell." We walk the murky streets of Victorian London with its swarms of thieves and murderers, and enter the sordid drinking dens where prostitutes and their vicious accomplices practice their arts. We follow the ingenious villains who carried out the first great train robbery, and see the rise and fall of gangs. And we discover how crime in the capital has evolved from the extreme violence of the 18th century to the vastly more complex and lucrative, but no less brutal, gangland of today.
