Billy Hill was Britain's first celebrity gangster. Born in London's King's Cross, Hill was a charming character with a deadly edge who elevated himself to the very top of the pantheon of organised crime. By the early 1950's he had control of the city's gambling rackets and masterminded a heist that set the template for the Great Train Robbery. An ally turned enemy of Jewish gangster Jack 'Spot' Comer, Hill ended Spot's criminal career with a razor attack by his infamous henchman, Mad Frankie Fraser.
