THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY The Incredible Story of a Masterpiece of Modern Crime (SIGNED BY BRUCE REYNOLDS AND TOMMY WISBEY)

Hardback. 1st US Edn. SIGNED BY BRUCE REYNOLDS AND TOMMY WISBEY. The inside story. The daring raid on the night-mail from Glasgow to London in August 1963 went down in criminal history, not only as the world's greatest train robbery but also as a crime unique in its conception and execution. Using his amazing knowledge of the underworld and drawing on some of his best contacts, John Gosling pieced together all the inside facts of the case and presents a complete narrative of how the job was planned, how it was executed, how the money may have been dispersed - and more than one shrewd guess as to the identity of the 'top people'.
