Alf King behind bars

Book excerpt: Detective Sergeant Cuthbertson gets his dearest wish - Alf King finally behind bars. Offered inducements Frankie Lane has fingered Alf and The Gang for Handling Stolen Goods. Just to make sure Harry says he 'suspects' Alf has connections with Mafias, Yardies and Triads. It boosts Alf's criminal Rep. fantastically. He uses it Inside all ways. They get 6 months. Released on Bail, The Gang face a new threat - a Takeover Bid by Martha for the Gang Bosshood. At the Appeal, Sir Septimus 'has a quiet word' with the Judge so Alf gets another month 'for Reports', while Fred and Sid are released. Alf uses his experience of prison ways. But his Brief is worried why the Judge (a Golfing Partner)made that weird decision and uses 'certain' methods to find out. In Court again, all the Reports proclaim Alf is a 'Reformed character'. Harry daren't repeat his allegations of Alf's underworld connections he'd used before despite the Judge hints. So he can make only one decision.
