This is almost all of what survives of a journal Colin Perry kept between March & November 1940, when he was eighteen years old, written in his home in Tooting & in the City of London where he worked. The journal was never intended for publication, it is only the youthful, untrained outpourings of a proud & totally insignificant Londoner. It spans what the Air Ministry was to call '...the Great Days from 8 August
- 31 October 1940' & the fifty-seven nights when the bombing of London was unceasing. This is the period enshrined in our history as the Battle of Britain, the most momentous year for Britain in the twentieth century.

Product Description

Killing Goldfinger charts the extraordinary rise & spectacular bullet-riddled fall of John Palmer, the richest, most powerful criminal ever to have emerged from the modern British underworld.

Palmer earned his nickname Goldfinger after smelting (in his back garden) tens of millions of pounds worth of stolen gold bullion from the 20th centurys most lucrative heist; the Brinks-Mat robbery. Palmer then used his share of the millions to become the vicious overlord of a vast illegal timeshare property empire in Tenerife.

At the same time, Goldfinger financed huge international drugs shipments as well as some of the most notorious UK robberies of the past 30 years, including the £50m Securitas heist in Kent in 2006 &, many believe, the Hatton Garden heist in 2015.

As outrageous & bullet-riddled as the hit Netflix series Narcos, Killing Goldfinger tells the true story of Britains underworld kingpin, who turned the sunshine holiday island of Tenerife into his very own Crime Incorporated & then paid the ultimate price.
