THE FINAL WORD FROM THE LAST KING OF GANGLAND WITH A FOREWORD BY
MARTINA COLE Eddie Richardson is the last brand-name gangster. Say
the name and the world of violent criminality grabs you by the
throat. The Richardson brothers, Eddie and Charlie, and their
infamous 'Torture Gang', made money while their rivals Ronnie and
Reggie Kray made fatal mischief. They fought each other, but now,
in 2018, Eddie Richardson says: 'They tell me blood is thicker than
water, but with Charlie it wasn't so. He was evil.' With his
brother dead, Eddie Richardson feels free to detail the story of a
vicious family feud that provoked extravagant acrimony. No
Handcuffs unravels the mysteries of decades of crime and political
incident. The story of a turbulent era, it rivals the most
imaginative fiction in its portrayal of gangland life with all its
chanciness and rawness and careless disregard for any obstacle on
the way to its target, the big money. In an inspired collaboration
with bestselling author Douglas Thompson, the mature Eddie
Richardson is given a voice to reflect on his journey from the
scrapyards of South London to the glitz and glamour of the West End
nightclubs, to the flesh and tease of Soho, down Downing Street and
through the door of Number 10 to the perils of espionage and
international intrigue, and his elevation to demigod status in
hard-men territory - and finally as a high-security inmate at Her
Majesty's pleasure, but with a personal fridge kept well stocked
with gourmet food. No Handcuffs resonates today for, if anything,
greed and corruption are more perverse, more rampant. As Eddie
Richardson points out: 'We wrote the handbook for them.'
