About this listen

Once upon a Time in Manchester,
is a novel based on the supposed Kray twins visit to Manchester, in the late November of 1963. There has been a thousand tales, all the stuff of legend and myths. My book is simply a take on what is one of the most fascinating and controversial gangster fables of our time. A story filled with colourful characters lighting up what was deemed a miserable, former ''Cottonopolis'' of the north. A city still recovering from World War two, its infrastructure a landscape of debris and broken buildings flattened by the Luftwaffe, but one teeming with intrigue and gangsters looking to stake a claim. A world still reeling from the JFK assassination, strange, worrying if electrifying times. Then came the Krays north with an eye on taking over and raining blood on the rainy city. Only to find despite their reputation as legendary gangland figures, in Manchester this mattered nothing at all. So unfurls Once Upon a Time in Manchester.....
