Описание книги

To Britain's criminal underworld, Freddie Foreman is the Godfather. Held responsible for the gangland killings of Ginger Marks and Frank 'The Mad Axeman' Mitchell, he was the punisher to those who broke the underworld's strict code of conduct.Foreman's dramatic kidnap and arrest for Britain's biggest cash robbery made headlines around the world, yet this daring raid was just the peak of a safe-blowing, bank-robbing career that spanned decades. His story is a fascinating, yet chilling account of life as a freelance enforcer for the Kray twins, and as London's most feared gangster.Bloodshed aside, Freddie's often humorous stories reveal a caring man who believes that violence is a last resort and who always treated people with respect. Revealed in these pages are the amazing details of the heists, the double crossings, the shoot-outs and the betrayals that accompanied life as a career criminal when the streets were controlled by fear. Exposed are the audacious plans behind the century's most famous crimes, the damning evidence of police corruption and the eye-opening events that gave Freddie this most revered reputation.'The most blood-curdling gangster memoir you'll ever read' – The News of the World

Отрывок из книги

‘Brown Bread: Dead. One London criminal is known admiringly among his peers as Brown Bread Fread after the number of bodies, rightly or wongly, attributed to him.’

Gang Slang, A Dictionary of Criminal Slang.

.....

Those images were true to life. I was getting the violence down on paper. My reputation began to spread. Schoolkids went out of their way to see what I had drawn and offered to swap their comics for my art. I started to take this further and drew my own action comics. This led to a fight between two pupils who argued over what I was drawing one day.

But it was a comment on the times. There were always guns in the house, German Lugers, old service revolvers, Japanese swords, crudely made scabbards and Arab daggers. I used to love playing with them.
