The Rise of the Silver Hatchet Gang
Every city in the United Kingdom has had their gangs. This is the story of the rise and fall of the Silver Hatchet Gang: a mythical group of hoodlums, thieves, and murderers, involved in crime, prostitution, protection rackets, threats, gambling and death.

The book charts their rise from London, through the UK and to Hull, where they remained until a crackdown was launched, and the gang either ceased or went underground.
