A peer of the Krays and the Richardsons, arguably as influential and certainly as dangerous, Fraser has served over 40 years in prisons and mental institutions for his various crimes.

Critics Review
Vivid and brutally honest account of a life revolving around crime
The British have a soft spot for villains, especially the criminally bewildered, and Mad Frank, now in his 70s, has become part of the heritage trail … A pivotal figure in any history of England’s gangland … a harrowing book - John McVicar, SUNDAY TIMES
There is a mesmeric quality to the sheer accumulation of infamous names dropped by Fraser, coupled, often, with the injuries they sustained after coming to his attention … His memory for details is clearly undiminished - not for those of a delicate disposition … chillingly unrepentant story - THE TIMESFascinating … a chilling account of a truly dangerous person - DAILY EXPRESSAn amazing account of the workings of criminal families in Britain - SUNDAY TELEGRAPHOne of the most feared villains in London’s underworld … Actors cast as villains would do well to study on Mad Frankie - TIME OUTColourful … chilling - SUNDAY EXPRESSEvokes a vanished era - INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAYI read it from cover to cover in two days, hypnotised by the larger- than-life characters - CAMBRIDGE EVENING NEWSAbout The Author
