THE CRIME THAT NEARLY PAID. The inside story of one of the most famous hold-ups in the history of crime

Paperback. The full, exciting story of one of the most spectacular cash robberies in the annals of crime - the great Brink's robbery. On January 17, 1950, the great Boston armoured car express company named Brink's, was robbed of $1,218,211.29 in cash and $1,557,183.83 in cheques, money orders etc. It was probably at the time, the most spectacular cash robbery in the annals of crime. Specs O'Keefe played a leading role in the robbery, only to be robbed in his turn, when his accomplices cheated him out of his share of the loot. Desperate for revenge, Specs turned informer. If he had not done so, the Brink's robbery might have turned out to be the 'perfect crime' and 8 men who served life sentences, would have still been at large. 222pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lightly browned pp. Vg+
