Goldfinger and Me by Marnie Palmer
The life, crimes and bloody end of John ‘Goldfinger’ Palmer were straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster – and Marnie Palmer, his wife of forty years, had a front row seat. The poor Solihull lad, whose childhood home was so cold the goldfish froze, fought his way up to a lifestyle of private jets, yachts and Ferraris, thanks to a home-made gold smelter in his back garden and a multi-million-pound timeshare empire. By the turn of the millennium, Palmer was 105th on the Sunday Times Rich List, but Goldfinger had a long list of enemies. In Goldfinger and Me, his widow Marnie shares her unique insight into his roller coaster life, from dealing scrap in Bristol, to the Brink’s-Mat raid that changed their lives – ending with his downfall of betrayals, jail stints and his still unsolved assassination.
Marnie Palmer now lives near Bath with her new partner, John, and their two Jack Russell terriers. Her former five-star jetset lifestyle has been replaced by a retirement of gardening and fly-fishing. She is happy with the trade-off. Tom Morgan is currently a correspondent at The Daily Telegraph. He has also covered major news events around the world for The Sun and the Press Association. This is his third book.
