It reveals elements of police corruption and provides insights into the interdependence of both sides of the underworld scene - a compelling and gruesome account of how the other half of London lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in wartime London's east end, Billy Webb grew up in the violence of air-raids and street warfare. His first weapon was a knuckleduster which he had made to measure for the price of five cigarettes when he was 11. When he first met the Krays they were scraping a living by doorknocking for old clothes to be sold in street markets. For three years he and the twins were on the run together as army deserters, and over the course of time, he was a friend, ally and foe of the Krays in their violent rise to fame.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mainstream Publishing Company, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152237609200,"sku":"9781780574226","price":9.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780574226_p0.jpg?v=1763714217","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780574226","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
