The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins by John George Pearson

3.0

It is fairly obvious that the author of The Profession Of Violence : The Rise And Fall Of The Kray Twins Mr. John Pearson liked and admired the Kray Twins, Ronnie and Reggie. He goes out of his way to condemn their crimes, but you can hear the admiration he had for these two men. I was drawn to this novel because I saw an episode of "Whitechapel" on the BBC America dealing with the London "mob" and the Kray's in particular. Before this, I had never heard of them, even though they had a reign of terror over the Eastend and eventually the Westend of London for over a decade. A good introduction to the world of the Kray's. It has whet my appitite for more information on the crime and more importantly the life of these men. 3 of 5 stars.
