Paul Ferris was one of Britain's most feared gangsters for 25 years. Now in Villains, Ferris reveals for the first time the real inside story of the villains he met and worked with, the common thugs and big time players that surrounded him and the world of violence and fear he lived in every day of his life. There's previously untold stories about the early years of Glasgow's Godfather, Arthur Thompson; the clown with the guns; guns and drugs in Manchester; the Glasgow hard man who loved bingo; what happened at the secret meeting with loyalist "Mad Dog" Johnny Adair and much more. Villains is the real deal about real people. The mad , the bad and the sad. Friends and foes. The trusted and the twisted. And, as you'll discover, when it comes to villains, it takes one to know one.
