Cash, cars, bars and stars: Generation ‘Del Boy’ has come to town. Seeds planted by the eight Fewtrell brothers back in the poverty-stricken days of the 1960s have finally grown into towering money trees and Eddie Fewtrell has the greenest fingers of them all. Twenty years of underworld in-fighting are finally over, and the road to riches lies before him. All he has to do is walk the straight and narrow, but the road is littered with debris from his past. Mistakes, betrayal and revenge, lay like man traps along the road to success ready to snap their metal jaws shut and crush his dreams for the future. The 1980s; greed is good, racial tensions high and violent, football hooliganism fills the TV screens of Great Britain. A time when Eddie Fewtrell attempts to leave his gangster past behind him and finally flourish into the businessman he always knew he should be. Declaring himself King of Clubs, his crown sits precariously on his head, will this be the decade it finally falls?

The Accidental Gangster: Part 3

In the late 1950s as the dust was still settling from the destruction caused by World War II. The only way for a young man to get ahead was to bend the rules on both sides of the law and never back down to anyone or anything. A young man such as this emerged from the poverty-stricken streets of the industrial heartland, a man that would change the face of Birmingham forever. Eddie Fewtrell controls Birmingham’s nightlife with an iron glove. But his path to success isn’t an easy one. Deadly, gangland confrontations, family betrayals, and assassination attempts by two of the country’s most infamous gangsters, the Kray twins, all threaten to topple the crown from the head of the self-proclaimed, King of Clubs, in this desperate battle for power over Great Britain’s second city. The most controversial books ever to be written about Birmingham’s history, and for the first time under one cover, parts one to three of the Accidental Gangster covering the 1960s to the 1980s including a special factual section and photographs covering the background to the stories and legends are here in this limited edition, trilogy hardback.
