Powder Wars - The Supergrass who Brought Down Britain's Biggest Drug Dealers

Informationen zum Autor Graham Johnson Klappentext Gangster Paul Grimes was a one-man crimewave with a breathtaking capacity to steal. Any villains who got in his way were made to pay--often with their blood. But when his son died of a drug overdose, the old-school mobster swore revenge on the new generation of Liverpool-based heroin and cocaine dealers. Against all odds, he turned undercover informant. Zusammenfassung The first gangster to fall foul of Grimes's change of heart was Curtis Warren, aka 'Cocky', the wealthiest and most successful criminal in British history. This work reveals the secrets behind one of the controversial episodes in British judicial history - how former Home Secretary Michael Howard was duped into granting John Haase a Royal Pardon.
