Nipper Read READ, LEONARD, MORTON, JAMES
United Kingdom Little, Brown Book Group 2002 0751531758 / 9780751531756 Paperback
illustrations Just after 7pm on the evening of Tuesday 4 March 1969, at the Old Bailey, the jurors filed back into Court 1 to give their verdict on Ronald Kray. The word "Guilty" brought to a triumphant conclusion the months of painstaking work put in by Leonard Read and his team in their efforts to bring the infamous Kray brothers to justice. In this book, Leonard Read tells his own story, that of the small Nottingham lad, nicknamed Nipper, who went to join the Metropolitan Police - because of their less stringent height requirements - and who rose through the ranks to become part of the team solving the Great Train Robbery. In 1964 Read was invited to put together a team to "have a go" at the Kray gang - the seemingly untouchable East End criminals whose reign of terror involved blackmail, protection rackets and finally murder. In a recreation of the operation, Read and James Morton cover the case from the first time Nipper saw Ronald Kray in a pub in the Whitechapel Road - where he turned up flanked by minders - to the brothers' eventual arrest in May 1968 and the nailbiting suspense of their sensational trial.

Shotgun and Standover MORTON, JAMES, ROBINSON, RUSSELL
Australia Pan Macmillan Australia 2010 1405039868 / 9781405039864 Paperback
Good Condition, nice clean copy great value 8vo - from 7 ¾" tall to 9 ¾" tall. Few names in Australian criminal history are as redolent as the Painters and Dockers. They were a union gone to the bad. From their outset in the early years of the 20th century, they attracted more than their fair share of shady waterfront characters, and by the 1960s, '70s and '80s they had become a fully fledged criminal fraternity of some of the most violent and dangerous men in Australia. Standover, smuggling, gambling, prostitution and drugs were the daily trade of the Painters and Dockers, whilst arguments and old scores were more often than not settled with the lethal blast of a sawn-off shotgun. From famous criminals of the past such as Squizzy Tailor, through the recent gangland wars in Melbourne, the story of the Painters and Dockers touches almost every part of our violent and bloody underworld history. Their members and associates are a roll call of some of Australia's most brutal and violent offenders: Brian and Les Kane, Ray Bennett, Billy Longley and the Moran family among many others.

Who's Who of Unsolved Murders MORTON, JAMES
United Kingdom Kyle Books 1994 1856261638 / 9781856261630 First Edition
b&w photographs throughout Ranging from domestic killings to world-wide gangland contracts, this is an account of over 200 of the most controversial and intriguing unsolved murders of the last 150 years. It covers cases which continue to baffle the police and criminologists, as well as cases in which it seems likely that an innocent person was wrongly convicted, and sometimes executed. It describes famous and well-documented killings such as those of John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Hoffa, Julie Ward, and the Whitechapel murders, and also less well-known and often bizarre cases, including that of the pyjama girl in Australia, and Dr Straub and the rabbit-pie murder. James Morton is the author of "Gangland", "Bent Coppers" and "Lowspeak", and ghosted "Nipper" and "Mad Frank".
