Description
The Curse of Brink's-Mat: Twenty-five years of Murder and Mayhem The largest heist in British history, the 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery, was more than just a daring crime - it became a deadly affair. 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 aftermath was marked by violence, revenge, and a trail of tragic deaths. Wensley Clarkson, who knows the events of that extraordinary morning better than anyone, brings to life the cast of characters involved in the heist and its consequences. From the small-time crime in south-east London that preceded the robbery, to the bloody repercussions that followed, Clarkson's account is a gripping and detailed exploration of villainy, gold, and the human cost of crime. This book is a gripping and detailed exploration of the Brink's-Mat robbery and its aftermath, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in true crime.
