About the book

From 1937 Ireland to petty theft as a teenager in London, Sydney Gottfried grew into a high-life of internatial double-dealing. Owner of a casino and nightclub, his many scams involve fake scotch, violent Soho hookers, counterfeit money, mobsters, diamonds, Swiss banks and the American public. Gottfried is resolutely crooked and his scams - here explained in thorough detail - are at times darkly humourous. Yet the vicious gravitas of his lifestyle draws him tragically, inevitably, to bloody murder.
