Description
Chris Lambrianou turned to crime at the age of nine, desperate to escape the grinding poverty of his East End childhood. Armed robbery, safe blowing fraud - the big tough Cockney did the lot. Then the Krays decided they wanted a slice of his action.
Forced into business with the twins, Chris was unimpressed by a crime empire built on fear, and alarmed that his brother Tony had become a member of their Firm. The Kray Madness vividly reveals how Reg and Ron's out-of-control behaviour led to their downfall - and Chris's too. Duped into attending the party where Reg murdered Jack McVitie, Chris helped dispose of the body. He was arrested along with the Krays and jailed for fifteen years.
Christ describes his time as a Category A prisoner; the beatings and harsh regime, the friendship he found with other inmates like Charlie Richardson and Bruce Reynolds. And the moment that gave him the strength not just to survive, but to change his life forever . . .
