They ruled the streets of London in the 1960s. Half a century
later, Ronnie and Reggie Kray, unrepentant purveyors of violence
and murder, hold more fascination than ever before. Portrayed as
charismatic gangsters on the big screen, the saga of the twins,
their firm and their thirty-odd years behind bars is one that is
determinedly and deliberately embellished with every passing year.
Yet it is only recently that the stark, unvarnished truth about the
twins has started to emerge after being so cunningly concealed
behind the facade of charitable deeds and East End loyalties.
Bestselling author Jacky Hyams has carefully re-examined some of
the stories, the lies and the myths to reveal a very different
portrait of the twins and those closest to them. She reveals the
complexity of their relationships and their closest bonds, and
contests the police's belief that Ronnie Kray senselessly murdered
'one of their own'. Ronnie Kray is said to have described he and
his twin as 'vicious, elegant bastards'. It is one of the few
truths ever uttered by either of them.
