More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
A revelatory account of a long-standing, violent feud between two Tyneside crime families
Product Description
For more than fifty years, two ruthless gangs have dominated the Tyneside underworld. Initially, the Conroy and the Sayers families lived side by side in relative harmony in the West End of Newcastle, but the birth of the drug-fuelled rave culture in the late 1980s changed everything. Drunk on power and with an intense desire to take complete control of the north-east, the families went to war with one another and with anyone else who stood in their way. What followed was an orgy of mindless violence.
In Fog on the Tyne, bestselling true-crime author Bernard O'Mahoney explores the origins of this gangland war and reveals for the first time how and why it spiralled out of control, leaving many injured and others dead.

Format:Paperback
The book is ok as far as these kind of books go with the history to events and times of which they happend but it is mostly told through the conroys so its mostly one sided about what has happend the title should have been the conroys the way we see it.

I read this because I'm from Newcastle but all it did was 'big up' those involved in organised crime, say how hard done to they are and criticised the police for trying to put these scumbags in jail where they belong. People from the West End don't accept thieving as a part of life nor do they look at these people as 'heroes'. They are scum who've never done a days work in their sad lives. Poorly written and inaccurate

Worth a read if your from the Newcastle area for a good giggle.Like the other review says all one sided and deluded .And there some facts in the booked and just not true,lost respect for the author for either knowinly writing blantant lies or not doing simple home work to check out the facts . either way makes me question the contents of his other books .
