Description:
Walter Norval was a man marked by destiny to be a career criminal in one of Britains hardest cities. As a boy he grew up in a world of illegal betting, violent canal bank pitch-and-toss schools, sleazy dance halls, brothels and bars where the denizens of the slums in the north side of Glasgow slaked gargantuan thirsts and plotted murder and mayhem. Before he had reached his teens, close relatives had died as blood was spilled in the streets. As a youngster he ran messages for the toughest gangsters in the city and stood guard over the pots of cash in illegal gambling schools. It was a remarkable apprenticeship, dangerous and sometimes deadly. His story told by the best-selling crime historian Robert Jeffrey provides a fascinating insight into the making of a criminal mastermind, from boy to man.
