After ten years at the heart of their slightly unhinged world, Donal MacIntyre paints a shocking and unprecedented portrait of Manchester's most notorious family. Dominic Noonan allows investigative reporter Donal MacIntyre to shine a light into the darkest corners of his world to reveal this extraordinary gangster, kidnapper, bank robber, extortionist...and community social worker, in a book that was nearly as dangerous to write as it was for the subject to live.
