The Profession of violence
Reggie and Ronald Kray ruled London's gangland during the 1960s with a ruthlessness and viciousness that shocks even now. Building an empire of organised crime such as nobody has done before or since, the brothers swindled, intimidated, terrorised, extorted and brutally murdered. John Pearson explores the strange relationship that bound the twins together, and charts their gruesome career to their downfall and imprisonment for life in 1969.
Now expanded to include further extraordinary revelations, including the unusual alliance between the Kray twins and Lord Boothby – the Tory peer who won £40,000 in a libel settlement when he denied allegation of his association with the Krays – The Profession of Violence is a truly classic work.
John Pearson is also the author of All the Money in the World (previously titled Painfully Rich), now a major motion picture directed by Ridley Scott film and starring Michelle Williams, Mark Wahlberg and Christopher Plummer (nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor).
' My family were acquaintances of the Krays and my grandma thought they were lovely young men. My dad was a member of a boxing club and was a heavy weight boxer plus a member of the Tottenham Crew, I know he worked for them and was known as someone to avoid because of his association. My mother new her place and never talked back and kept home perfectly. When I found out why everyone gave us what they were asked for I moved to another country to get away. Martin Shaw was right on the money, he portrayed them realistically and read beautifully. It brought back a lot of memories. I know they were stone cold killers but can honestly say that to me they treating me like a princess.' - Amazon review
