The Dawn of Crime - Long Harry Slater of thee Fitzroy Vendette

The Dawn of Crime by Roy Maloy

Long Harry Slater was a thug, stand over man, sly grog protection racket extortionist, sometimes pimp and above all gunman. His role in the Fitzroy Vendetta is the stuff of Hollywood movies and has been largely forgotten - until now! This episode is a special edition Dawn of Crime as we approach 27 October 1927, the day Squizzy Taylor was shot dead, and I make a big announcement on my Facebook page, “Roy Maloy Author” about my next book! I’m joined by drag queen, cabaret star and comedian Jack London as we walk down the memory lane grab bag of what it means to be Long Harry.
