ESCAPE FROM THE KRAY MADNESS

Paperback. After more than 10yrs' silence, one of the key figures in the sensational Kray trial tells his remarkable story. As a young East End tearaway, Chris Lambrianou was in a class of his own. Armed robbery, safe blowing, protection rackets, fraud, even attempted murder - the big brash Cockney did the lot. Then he was lured to the party that ended in the murder of Jack 'The Hat' McVitie. Lambrianou describes what really happened to McVitie's body and exposes a side of the Kray twins none of their so-called 'Firm' had the courage to face. Caught up in the Krays' downfall, Chris was jailed for life in 1969. In deep despair he tried to kill himself, before an amazing vision transformed him fundamentally, prompting him to become a Christian. Illus. 343pp. mass p/back. Vg.
