The Blood Soaked Autobiography of Britain's Most Notorious Gangster!

'I'm a gangster to the bone. All my life I lived and breathed the underworld with the best (and worst) of 'em. Ronnie and Reggie at their prime, Roy Shaw and Lenny 'The Guv'nor' McLean in full swing - there's nothing I haven't seen, and no-one I'll hide the truth about. Violence, gambling, drugs, extortion - that's how I made my fortune at the top. And robbery's how I lost it - £7 million and my freedom, that is. Here is my story'

Armed robbery, murder, abduction, intrigue - this may sound like the stuff that a crime thriller is made of, but for armed robber Danny Woollard this is real life. One of the East End's most notorious gangsters, Danny's life has been one filled action, danger and villainy. Danny's luck finally ran out in 1995, when he was arrested along with key gang member Angleo "Festus" Hayman, for his involvement in the infamous Snowhill robbery, which high-jacked a security van and netted £400,000 worth of diamonds and a staggering seven million pounds sterling in bearer bonds. This book pulls no punches and is a brutally honest account of underworld life from someone who has experienced it first-hand.
