Perception Vs Reality in Merseyside: Episode 89

At CrimeCon London last weekend, I had the pleasure of interviewing author Jason Wilson about his excellent new book, 'The Old Man And Me'. In front of a live audience, we chatted about why he wrote his book about growing up and living with his gangster father. The book is no nonsense and talks about the reality of crime, not the glamourised versions you hear about elsewhere, and in this interview Jason was very open about his life. I hope you enjoy and there is link to the book below.Buy your copy here:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Old-Man-thrilling-biography-understand/dp/1913406881 Hosted on Acast.

Andrew Ramsay was a 51 year old Accountant living with his partner Beverley in Glasgow. One evening, as the couple strolled back from the local pub, the police pulled up outside their house and took Andrew to the police questioning for questioning. Beverley could never have guessed it was the last time she would see Andrew. In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I cover the confusing story of just what happened to Andrew.1, Please support my sponsorsRitual is offering my listeners 10% off during your first 3 months.
