Fast Eddie by Eddie Maher

9:30 am, January 22, 1993: the moment in crime history that one of Britain's most audacious thefts ever took place and the legend of Fast Eddie was created. This is the story of how Securicor guard Eddie Maher managed to pull off a 1.2 million heist, fled the country despite every port being closed, spawned an international manhunt, and managed to evade capture for 20 years. As Britain's Most Wanted Man, he led 30 detectives, the FBI, and Interpol on a wild goose chase across the US. Dubbed Fast Eddie by the press, he was always one step ahead, and after two decades on the run with his family using a series of of aliases and identities, Eddie began to think he'd committed the perfect crime, until a cruel and dramatic betrayal proved otherwise. Like a Hollywood movie script and told in full for the first time, Fast Eddie is the compelling story of how an ordinary British man became America's most notorious fugitive.
Former Securicor guard and Fire Officer Eddie now lives in the south-east of England with his family.
