Description
Albert Donoghue reveals the shocking true story behind the infamous Kray twins. In 1968, Reggie Kray shot Albert from behind the bar, testing his loyalty to the underworld code of silence. This event marked the beginning of a complex and violent relationship between the two men. As the Krays' business affairs became increasingly violent, Albert's role evolved into that of right-hand man, minder, and chief executive. However, when the twins were arrested, they made a critical mistake: Albert was forced to testify against them for a crime he did not commit - the killing of Frank Mitchell. This decision had far-reaching consequences, including Albert's own imprisonment. This explosive book provides an inside perspective on the rise and fall of the Kray twins, shedding new light on their notorious crimes and the events that led to their downfall.
