Book Description

Laid in modern Soho - this is a rough, tough documentary story of what the Americans call the "vice-racket". It presents a shocking picture of organized vice and prostitution; it is not for squeamish stomachs. Whilst the characters are fictional, the facts are all too true and are the subject of grave concern in offical circles. The author knows his Soho very well, and writes as the result of considerable personal investigation.

When "Manchester" Brady (an ex-burglar) comes to London to set up a sporting club he is quickly embroiled with two rival gangs. One, the Borlinis, are the leaders in organized vice - the others, the Malta Boys - are their deadly enemies and rivals...

Mr. Russell sheds a most unpleasant light on the methods by which these people work and maintain their vile traffic...
