Getting it Straight by Lambrianou Tony; Foreman Freddie

An enagaging new classic in the true crime genre As never before, Freddie Foreman (who had his own Sixties gang - which received Jack the Hat McVitie's body at the South end of the Blackwall Tunnel after the Kray murder) and Tony Lambrianou (a noted Kray henchman) in conversation about getting the facts straight, how they went straight - and who they straightened out. Set against the backdrop the pub Freddie used to own and where he was arrested as acessory to murder - Tony and Freddie's conversations unfold rivetingly, covering not only their significant prison terms goings-on inside, but also astonishing fresh information on such notorious incidents as the Krays' murders and the famous Security Express heist, frank thoughts on the Kray legend and legacy, and crime today. A fresh angle on the well-loved underbelly of Britain - with lots of black humour!
Freddie Foreman, who has been called 'the Managing Director of British Crime' has been privy to some of the most sensational criminal events of the C20th. In his headline-making autobiography RESPECT (Century/Arrow) he admitted to two gangland killings. Tony Lambrianou is of an East End family long associated with the underworld. Pan has sold over 44,000 of his autobiography, INSIDE THE FIRM. Together, their stories form a significant chapter in modern social history.
