Description
The Krays' Final Years by Steve Wraith and Stuart Wheatman The notorious twins Ron and Reg Kray's reign as London's most feared gangsters came to an end in 1969, but their story continued to captivate those who knew them. Steve Wraith, a schoolboy from Tyneside, formed an unlikely friendship with the twins, who took him under their wing and introduced him to their inner circle. This book tells the story of Ron's time in Broadmoor, a high-security psychiatric hospital, where he struggled with his mental health, and Reg's long and varied prison sentences, where he was treated with respect by both staff and inmates. Through Steve's unique perspective, we gain a glimpse into the lives of these infamous gangsters, and the events that led to their downfall. The book is a fascinating account of the twins' final years, and the people who knew them. With its unique blend of true crime and biography, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the darker side of British history. By sharing the story of Ron and Reg Kray, Steve Wraith sheds new light on a period of British history that is often shrouded in mystery. This book is a compelling and thought-provoking read, that will appeal to fans of true crime and biography.
