Killer

by Charlie Seiga

Charlie Seiga was one of the most dangerous men in Britain. Men were murdered on his patch, and many times the police marked him out as the killer. The killings were swift, brutal and brilliantly organised. The victims - liberty-takers and sadists - were all hard bastards who dealt in the most vicious kind of violence. Armed to the hilt, Charlie would target the bullies who picked on weak, defenceless victims, women and the elderly. His presence was a constant challenge to the lowlife who preyed on those who could not defend themselves. Charlie's story is an incredible tale of violence and crime; but it is also a story of one man's fight against the scum who break his deadly code of honour. It is the incredible autobiography of one of the most notorious figures in the history of British crime.

Killer is a very well written, gripping and totally absorbing read into the life of a real life villain. He is very frank and honest about the crimes he has committed and although he doesn’t regret anything he has ever done he is proud of the fact that he always had a code of honour (not like today’s “plastic gangsters” as he calls them. He has never hurt the ordinary man on the street and is a big believer in people having manners and respect for other people that is sadly missing from today’s world (whether you are a criminal of not).

You will have to read the book to judge for yourself if he is guilty of the contract killing of a nasty piece of scum gangster than he was found NOT GUILTY when it went to trial. As he seems to be honest and frank during the other crimes he has committed, I for one, believe him when he says he didn’t do it but that is up to each individual reader to decide.

Reading this fantastic and true account of his life growing up and the crimes he freely admits to that he was never convicted of will give you an insight into what his character is like and will help you make up your mind on his innocence or guilt.

A great, thrilling and enjoyable read full of violence. I would highly recommend reading Killer.

Top book by a top Fella.

This book is one of the most exciting stories I have ever read. I have no doubt that every word is the absolute truth. I am about to read the next one, and as I am a scouser Myself, I am sure it will be as familiar as this one, as my '' Ken'' ( House) was quite close by, and although I never met Charlie, a few of the ' characters mentioned in the book are familiar.

Unputdownable!

Charlie writes as he remembers..no frills or frippery...this is one of the best autobiographies I have ever read. He never takes c rap from low lifes, and respects those that show him respect. Must read!

Hands down, along with Parkhurst tales by Norman Parker this is one of the best true crime books I've ever read. Charlie just has a natural ability to get the story across without the BS. Couldn't put this book down.

Disappointed .

I don't really know what I was expecting from this book but it seems like a typical life of many a criminal.
