One Last Job by Tom Pettifor
'A gripping account of the life of one of Britain's most infamous criminals' Piers MorganAs portrayed by Sir Michael Caine in the major new film King of Thieves. One Last Job is the extraordinary real-life story of Brian Reader, Britain's most prolific thief. The iconic GBP14 million Hatton Garden raid of 2015 has already entered criminal folklore. This book cuts through the myth to reveal the astonishing true-life story of its elderly mastermind, Brian Reader. Gang insiders, family, friends and detectives talk for the first time about Reader's six-decade career, from mixing with the Krays and the cream of the London underworld to an ill-fated collaboration with violent gangster Kenny Noye. It reveals the Hatton Garden gang's links to an unsolved gangland murder, bent cops, police supergrasses and an alleged establishment cover-up. The book also includes new details about Basil, dubbed 'The Ghost' after he became the only gang member to escape justice.
