金钱，炸弹，谋杀案和副帝国 - 伦敦的马耳他集团的崛起和东端的“大弗兰克”米夫斯到Soho

第二次世界大战后，犯罪阶层控制了伦敦“令人震惊”的城市的肠道，至少将一英里的虎钳转弯了两十年半。

这个民族的“黑手党”的勇敢的新兵仅投资于卖淫，色情和赌博，被称为“马耳他集团”。Violent, property-rich, and under tight control of Big Frank Mifsud and Bernie Silver, they co-existed side by side with gangsters like Billy Hill, Jack ‘Spot’ Comer, the Krays, Albert Dimes, and porn baron Jimmy Humphreys, before their demise at the hands of ‘gangbuster’ Bert Wickstead.

Now their history is told in Matthew Vella’s detailed historical research, with newly-released documents from the Maltese and British national archives, the police statements of the Syndicate men, confidential police memos, and the most extensive search of British newspapers from the mid-1930s right up to the 1980s, with accounts from survivors of the era.
