About this ebook
Along with her mother Bonnie, little Maggie McKay migrated from Glasgow to London in the summer of 1972. It was a very reluctant move by her mother but she was forced to join Maggie's father after borrowing more money from friends and family than she could ever realistically pay back. Brice McKay had been in the city for just over a year after being made redundant in his native Glasgow. It hadn't taken him long to gain employment with the Pimms crime firm who worked out of an old railway arch on Pinchin Street in Whitechapel. Brice wasn't a natural fighter, yes he was more than able to take care of himself but the one thing that put him aside from the rest was his business aptitude and that ability saw him rapidly rise through the ranks to become Harry Pimms' second in command and natural successor.
From the tender age of just five years old Maggie had spent time at the arches and had become accustomed to the hard-nosed gangsters that always had a willing smile and a bag of sweets for the boss's little girl. The years passed swiftly by and with her father's decline in health, she was almost running the firm and would indeed take over completely by her early thirties. Maggie was a hard boss, violence didn't bother her in the least as long as she wasn't on the receiving end and she had the same business aptitude as her father but that was where any similarity ended.
Brice had made a good living for himself and his men but had continued in the usual illegal trades of prostitution, pornography, loan sharking and robberies. He had been happy with the money the firm brought in but when his daughter took charge, things began to change, greed was an understatement as far as Maggie was concerned and there wasn't anything she wouldn't undertake to see her coffers swell even further. When she began to trade in the unthinkable it caused people in the capital to live in constant fear and the Metropolitan Police to launch a task force to solve these horrendous crimes. How long would it take? Could Maggie get away with the truly unthinkable or would she be brought to justice?
'Greed' is the harrowing account of one evil woman's hideous slide into complete and utter depravation and murder.
