Book description
For almost four decades, Margaret 'Mags' McGraw was a keeper of
secrets. Her husband, Tam, the notorious 'Licensee', amassed a fortune
by leading a safe-cracking gang before masterminding a spectacular
£50-million drugs racket.
Mags was a devotee of Tarot cards and fortune telling, so when Tam
and his associates wondered whether luck would be with them, it was to
her that they turned. But Mags discovered that the cards warned of
much more than years in prison cells: they predicted death. She
learned that her own husband was also doomed to a fate that was
unexpected by everyone but her: Tam died in the arms of the wife he
called his 'rock' while her secret lover frantically tried to save him.
In The Gangster's Wife, Mags reveals her gripping life story,
from being a London clippie through often hilarious days running an
ice-cream van during the infamous Glasgow Ice Cream Wars to managing a
notorious bar, being agony aunt to the toughest criminals around,
hiding a secret love and sharing a life with The Licensee.
