Inhaltsangabe

‘Who had smashed up our young lives? Was it the murderous Kray twins? Or was it the police, cynically using the criminal justice system to hide their own failure?’

Bobby David and Alfie Teale were deeply trusted confidants of the notorious Kray twins, but when the Krays grew more extreme in their violence, Bobby secretly became a police informer to stop them. Then, supposedly for their own protection, Bobby, David and Alfie were all arrested on a fitted-up charge of demanding money with menaces, and sentenced to three years in prison.

When the Krays were eventually arrested, each of the brothers gave evidence at the trial. The Krays went down. The police were suddenly heroes - while Bobby vanished, in fear of his life, and David and Alfie were left to pick up the pieces of theirs.

In this extraordinary three-way memoir, you will see who the real heroes are, and it’s the Teales’s story which will endure as the real version of history.
