More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Tam McGraw was one of the most feared gangsters in Glasgow. Before his death from natural causes in July 2007, he had built up a huge crime empire which stretched from Glasgow to the Canaries. Few would talk openly about The Licensee while he was still alive - but now his incredible, untold story can finally be revealed. McGraw was a ruthlessly efficient gangster who ruled through fear and cunning, violence and drugs. They called him The Licensee - but not because of the pub he owned. Street players knew what it meant - Licensed to Commit Crime. Through their eyes, Reg McKay tells the real story of Tam McGraw. This title includes real stories about the time he cheated The Godfather, risking his life to end a dynasty; how McGraw was behind the UK's biggest coke heist and who paid the price; who killed the six Doyles; why the BarL Team was never caught; hit contracts, backstabbings and trading guns; and, vendettas and scores to settle with everyone from The Godfather, The Devil, M Family, Specky and Paul Ferris. McGraw did all that and much more, yet was never caught. Why? He was The Licensee. Licensed to Commit Crime.

If you've made the mistake of buying anything written by this infamous criminals' apologist, don't do it again. In the confused world of the author, some of these despicable villains are somehow good & noble (ie. Paul Ferris, TC Campbell) while others (eg. McGraw, Arthur Thompson) are bad. Why anyone takes the smoke-wreathed ramblings of the underworld's biggest useful idiot seriously are bewildering. Nothing wil top the author's pro-Ferris works for skewed & perverse spin but this one comes close.
