The Mayfair Mafia The Lives and Crimes of the Messina Brothers by Dick Kirby Paperback

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're beautiful or useful. Others are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and someone fascinated by organised crime, policing, and the hidden world that existed behind respectable society. He loved books that explored the people, power, and corruption behind real events. This is one of those books.

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, it examines how organised vice flourished through bribery, influence, deportations, and carefully protected criminal networks.

Every book in Dad's collection has been individually photographed and honestly described, so you know exactly what you're buying. If you enjoy true crime, organised crime history, policing, gangland stories, or the darker side of London's past, this is a compelling and revealing read.
