Frank Peters Michael J Richards

Born in 1950s London, Frank Peters was brought up amid the chaos of East End crime and violence, surrounded by severely dysfunctional characters. Growing up, he cracks safes, commits burglary, beats people up and later deals in hard drugs and money laundering.

He gets caught up in police and prison corruption, is a central figure in one of the most horrific murders of the last twenty years, has problems with long-term relationships, spends twelve years in prison and fifteen on probation.

This is the story of Frank's search for happiness, his failure to find it, the need to keep looking and how, when he hits rock bottom, he discovers what's been missing from his life all along. Love.



Michael J Richards brings every shocking, twisted detail to life. It's vivid. It's real. It's as if you're there, travelling through the English underworld with Frank Peters while he tells you of his life, times and crimes.
