The Mayfair Mafia: The Lives and Crimes of the Messina Brothers
A gripping true crime account of the family who quietly controlled London's vice trade while much of society looked the other way.
Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and someone drawn to real stories, politics, and the human side of history. This is one of those pieces.
Written by former Metropolitan Police officer Dick Kirby, this fascinating true crime history explores the rise and operations of the notorious Messina brothers, an Italian family who dominated large parts of London's prostitution trade from the 1930s onwards.
Part criminal history and part social history, the book examines how organised vice operated openly across London through bribery, influence, deportations, and carefully protected criminal networks.
A compelling read for anyone interested in gangland history, policing, organised crime, and the darker side of old London.
