The Criminal Alphabet

'What I do not know about criminal and prison slang could be written on the back of a postage stamp and still leave room for the Lord's Prayer . . .'

The criminal world has its own rules and its own unique language. And nobody is more familiar with them than bestselling author and prison veteran Noel 'Razor' Smith. From insults to terms of respect, weapons to injuries, crimes to punishment, this is the ultimate guide to the words, stories, legends and secret lore of an underworld that most of us can only imagine. Read this and you'll never make the mistake of thinking turtle doves fly, undies are worn or The Greybar Hotel is worth checking into . . .
