My Uncle Charlie

Fighter, conman, gangster – step onto the Canterbury Estate in the ‘40s and ‘50s and you know there’s one person you don’t want to cross: Charlie Hudson, the most infamous of the Canterbury Warriors.

Apprentice to notorious thug Mr Cappovanni, by the time Charlie’s in his 20s he’s running cons, illegal books and a band of prostitutes. He’s the top dog who wins with his fists when he needs to – and his brains when he doesn’t.

But when a tragic accident threatens to destroy all he’s built, it’s his heart rather than his hands that will prove to be his cataclysmic undoing…

Gritty and engrossing, My Uncle Charlie packs an emotional punch as it delves deeper into history of the infamous Hudson family; the true story of one man’s journey to power, and the tragedy that brought it all crashing down.
