Hardback. Shortly before Christmas 1966 Ronnie and Reggie Kray sprang Frank "The Mad Axeman" Mitchell from Dartmoor Prison. The escape sparked what was then the biggest manhunt in British criminal history. Twelve days later Mitchell was dead. In this book, the author reveals the truth behind Mitchell's escape and subsequent murder. He asks the question, was Mitchell really the brutal psychopath of tabloid legend, or - a gentle giant who was naively and fatally drawn into the underworld? New evidence is also revealed about other episodes involving the Krays that will shatter many of the myths surrounding the twins and their cohorts. Martin Fido has had exclusive access to official documents surrounding many of the cases in which the Kray gang was involved. A fascinating account of one of the most notorious periods in British criminal history. The book accompanies the major ITV documentary. Illus., Appendices, Bibliog. and Index. 288pp. 8vo. h/back. With the usual lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. in sl. creased Vg+ dw. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage if shipped overseas.
