The Mayfair Mafia by Dick Kirby

A revealing true crime account of the Messina brothers and the organised vice networks operating behind the respectable face of twentieth-century London.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in crime, policing and books that explored the hidden worlds operating behind respectable society. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by former Metropolitan Police officer Dick Kirby, The Mayfair Mafia: The Lives and Crimes of the Messina Brothers examines the rise of the notorious Messina family and their involvement in London's vice trade.

The book looks at organised prostitution, criminal influence, corruption and the networks that allowed vice to flourish behind closed doors, while also exploring the uneasy relationship between gangland activity, policing and wider society.

A compelling read for those interested in true crime, organised crime, London gangland history, policing and the darker side of twentieth-century British society.
