Meet Harry Starks: Club owner, racketeer, porn king, sociology graduate and keen Judy Garland fan. Starks rules swinging sixties Soho with a coercive fist and his favourite implement of torture: the red-hot poker.

Harry Starks runs 60s Soho, but he wants so much more. London, early '60s. Harry Starks is a dangerous mobster, a club owner who loves money, rent boys and Judy Garland. He's an East End gangster who, in grandiose Kray Twins style tradition, is not only prone to streaks of madness, depression and a violent temper but homosexuality. His penchant for Spanish Inquisition style justice has handed him the Fleet Street moniker of "Torture Gang Boss". He revels in a nether world of minor celebrities, fund raisers, boxing, showbiz, gambling clubs and philanthropy for the sake of public image.
