He hugs me close with a big, meaty fist; a pugilist’s fist. He is older, to me he’s old; he looks at the camera full on, pale staring eyes above a bushy grey beard. His face is impassive; but he appears to be smiling too, a Mona Lisa smile; ambiguous […] The man’s name is The Hat of Chicago. Or Mac the Hat. Or Dan the Hat. Or Dan MacKenzie. Or simply The Hat. He hails from Yorkshire, but he claims to have been a gangster working for Al Capone; a gun-runner, a bootlegger, a smuggler, a racketeer; a prisoner at Alcatraz in the 1930s.
His. Name. Was. The. Hat.
