Krays

Best-selling author Robin McGibbon was welcomed into the inner sanctum of the Kray twins. For more than ten years he saw Britains most notorious killers at close quarters - Reggie in top-security prisons his bisexual brother Ron in Broadmoors hospital for the criminally insane. As a well-connected valued friend who had ghost-written older brother Charlies autobiography McGibbon spoke to the twins on visits on the phone and corresponded regularly by post. He became such a trusted confidant he advised on media and personal matters negotiated TV rights to Ronnies funeral and his wife was so admired by the Kray family she was asked to speak on Reggies behalf in church. Drawing on that first-hand experience and revealing for the first time confidential details of letters to and from the twins
McGibbon describes their contrasting personalities: the infuriating mood swings and egomania of the hyper more aggressive Reggie and the gentle courtesy and generosity of his paranoid-schizophrenic twin who revealed in an exclusive interview the real reason behind one of the Krays legendary murders - and personal memories he had never shared with anyone but family. McGibbon a former national newspaper journalist who ghost-wrote Barbara Windsors best-selling autobiography All of Me" has written a pacy narrative coloured with a cast of supporting characters - from the Yorkshire Ripper TV stars and Page Three Girls to gangland hierarchy and convicted criminals the twins befriended in prison. With sensational revelations that should guarantee newspaper serialisation it is an enthralling
and compelling read that describes for the first time the bizarre lives the twins led after an Old Bailey judge jailed them in 1969 saying that society had earned a rest from their activities. It is a genuine inside story of the countrys most infamous killers whose terrifying violence shocked the nation and made them underworld legends."
