About this eBook
As never before....
Freddie Foreman (who had his own Sixties gang - which received Jack the Hat McVitie's body at the South end of the Blackwall Tunnel after the Kray murder) and Tony Lambrianou (a noted Kray henchman) in conversation about getting the facts straight, how they went straight - and who they straightened out.
Set against the backdrop of the pub Freddie used to own - and where he was arrested as acessory to murder - Tony and Freddie's conversations unfold rivetingly, covering not only their significant prison terms goings-on inside, but also astonishing fresh information on such notorious incidents as the Krays' murders and the famous Security Express heist, frank thoughts on the Kray legend and legacy, and crime today.
'Unlike other crook books, this one is a word-for-word transcript straight from the horse's mouths. . . very funny' Daily Mail
