Brighton today is a large, jolly, friendly seaside town in Sussex, exactly
one hour's journey from London.
But in the years between the two wars, behind the Regency terraces and
crowded beaches, there was another Brighton of dark alleyways and festering
slums. From here the poison of crime and violence and gang warfare began to
spread until the challenge was taken up by the Police.
This is a story of that other Brighton - now happily no more.
