Throughout the 1960s, Tony Lambrianou was a trusted member of the Kray Gang. He had a unique insight into the workings of a criminal organisation whose reputation in the underworld remains to this day. But he was not just an observer and his role in the Kray story ultimately led to him serving 15 years in prison. Inside the Firm tells, with searing honesty, his violent history with the Krays - and the horrors of his subsequent imprisonment in top security institutions. In exorcising his ghosts, he reveals an account that is more impartial and more terrifying than Ronnie and Reggie ever could have written. From the murder of Jack 'The Hat' McVitie - and the mystery of his undiscovered body - to the role of the Kray legacy in Britain's prisons today, Inside the Firm is the last confession of a gangster determined to turn his back on his brutal past.

From the bestselling author of GANGLAND BRITAIN and REEFER MEN. Organised crime is one of Britain's biggest industries. The number of gangland murders, shootings and kidnappings, along with the levels of drug trafficking, people smuggling and money laundering, have all experienced phenomenal growth. Multi-million pound drug deals and vicious turf wars have spread out from the inner cities and now affect even the most rural communities. The day-to-day impact of organised crime on our lives has never been greater. In GANGS, award-winning author Tony Thompson takes us on a gripping journey into the criminal underworld. From Triad human traffickers in Dover and ecstasy factory owners in Liverpool, to Albanian vice barons in London and gun-toting teenage crack dealers in Birmingham, GANGS reveals the inside story of contemporary organised crime.
As never before.... Freddie Foreman (who had his own Sixties gang - which received Jack the Hat McVitie's body at the South end of the Blackwall Tunnel after the Kray murder) and Tony Lambrianou (a noted Kray henchman) in conversation about getting the facts straight, how they went straight - and who they straightened out. Set against the backdrop of the pub Freddie used to own - and where he was arrested as acessory to murder - Tony and Freddie's conversations unfold rivetingly, covering not only their significant prison terms goings-on inside, but also astonishing fresh information on such notorious incidents as the Krays' murders and the famous Security Express heist, frank thoughts on the Kray legend and legacy, and crime today. 'Unlike other crook books, this one is a word-for-word transcript straight from the horse's mouths. . . very funny' Daily Mail
The author's detailed account of his extensive criminal operations with the Kray firm during the Sixties, culminating in a 15-year life sentence in Britain's top security prisons for his involvement in Reggie Kray's murder of Jack The Hat McVitie.
