Quizzically Stumped

I have strong inclinations about the answers but I can't confirm them. Thanks for any help in advance

The novel from which the series is taken is a series of chapters, each in the first person. One is the tale of Jack 'The Hat' McVitie, recounting the shooting of George Cornell by Ronnie Kray.

Black comedy at its finest!
