Description:LondonÌøåÀå?s High Life and Low Life meet in an explosive story of one of BritainÌøåÀå?s most successful cons. Even Lord Lucan was in on itÌøåÀå? When eccentric zoo-keeper,casino owner and multimillionaire John Aspinall died in 2000 aged 74,most of the obituaries focused on his lifelong love of wildlife,especially his famous tigers.

For what his upper crust chums didnÌøåÀå?t know was that he had funded his rise to fame and fortune by robbing them blind at the card tables,with the help of LondonÌøåÀå?s crime king Billy Hill. And the amount stolen ran into millions.
