Death Warrant: Kenneth Noye, the Brink's-Mat Robbery And The Gold

Description

On a cold grey morning in 1983 a gang of masked and armed men stole 26 million in gold bullion from the Brink's-Mat high-security warehouse near Heathrow. The biggest robbery in British history, it unleashed a trail of murder, betrayal and revenge. Will Pearson's searing, no-punches-pulled page-turner takes us from the grimy back streets of Peckham via secret Spanish villas and a Cosa Nostra Florida condominium to the high life in Switzerland, playing an expert light on one of the most extraordinary stories in the history of crime.

Will Pearson is a journalist, broadcaster and writer. When the first Gulf War broke out, realising there was a great story waiting to be told, he approached RAF pilot Flt Lt John Peters and navigator Flt Lt John Nichol - who had been shot down and captured by the Iraqis - to write the best-selling TORNADO DOWN. Since then, he has written five more books, including THE SHOOTING GALLERY, a searing account of life in the SAS. He lives in London with his wife and two children.
