THE CURSE OF BRINK'S-MAT 25 Years of Murder and Mayhem The Inside Story of the 20th Century's Most Lucrative Armed Robbery

Softcover. On 26 November 1983 six armed robbers escaped with £28 million worth of gold bullion from a Brink's-Mat warehouse at London's Heathrow Airport. The heist made the careers of many of the underworld's biggest names, and changed the face of British crime for ever. In the years following the robbery, many of those involved, innocent and guilty alike, have been sent to an early grave. Two decades on, the death toll is still rising. Nobody knows more about that extraordinary morning's events than the author. Nobody is better placed to track the vicious, violent and unexpected waves that followed in its wake, or bring to life its cast of larger-than-life characters. From small-time crime in south-east London, to 'the heist of the century' and its bloody consequences, this is an epic tale of villainy, gold and revenge. With Cast of Characters, Prologue, Epilogue, Real-Life Cast of Characters : The Dead; The Living. 345pp. trade size softcover. As New with no creasing to covers.
