Description
Carlton Leach's story is one of violence, loyalty, and survival. As a key member of the Essex Boys gang, he was at the centre of the savage drugs war that ravaged the UK in the 1980s and 90s. His experiences are marked by tragedy, including the 1995 Range Rover massacre, which claimed the lives of three of his friends. Leach also shares a unique perspective on the world of boxing, having served as a minder to boxer Nigel Benn during his glory years in the ring. But it is his own story of survival and loyalty that is perhaps the most remarkable. After a ten million pound heroin consignment went missing, Leach found himself in a desperate situation, with four of his associates facing torture and death. He recounts the events that led to their rescue, a testament to his bravery and determination. In this candid and unflinching account, Leach sheds light on a world that is often shrouded in secrecy and myth. His story is a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, one that is both shocking and deeply human.
