Sinossi
David Teale: adescato dai gemelli, controllato dalle minacce, violentato da Ronnie, ingiustamente imprigionato dallo Stato per la sua "propria protezione" in quanto fratello minore del Kray-informatore Bobby. A quanto pare questa è solo metà della storia. David incontrò per la prima volta i Kray quando aveva diciassette anni. Fu trascinato negli inferi di Londra e divenne il riluttante soldato semplice, autista e fattorino di Ronnie. Fu vicino all'omicidio e fu testimone delle minacce e dei comportamenti sempre più psicotici degli uomini più temuti nella terra dei gangster. A insaputa di David, suo fratello Bobby si era coraggiosamente trasformato in informatore, mettendo a rischio la sua sicurezza e quella dei suoi fratelli. Ciò ebbe le sue conseguenze. Ma perché, quando alla polizia venivano fornite dichiarazioni di testimoni oculari, da una fonte impeccabile, erano apparentemente incapaci di assicurare alla giustizia i gemelli? I Kray erano intoccabili. Dopo un'instancabile ricerca attraverso documenti appena pubblicati negli Archivi Nazionali, e dopo aver messo insieme informazioni precedentemente classificate con la sua conoscenza diretta dell'epoca, David Teale scopre la sconvolgente nuova verità, rivelata in questo libro per la prima volta. La storia di David riscrive la storia del True Crime.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. David Teale: groomed by the twins, controlled by threats, raped by Ronnie, falsely imprisoned by the State for his 'own protection' as younger brother of Kray-informer Bobby. Turns out that's only half the story. David first met the Krays when he was seventeen years old. He was drawn into London's underworld, and became Ronnie's reluctant foot soldier, driver, errand boy. He was close to murder, and witnessed menaces and the increasingly psychotic behaviours of the most feared men in gangster land. Unbeknown to David, his brother Bobby had bravely turned informer at great risk to his own safety and that of his brothers. That had its own consequences. But why, when the police were being furnished with eye-witness statements, from an impeccable source, were they seemingly incapable of bringing the twins to justice? The Krays were untouchable. After tireless research through newly released documents in the National Archives, and piecing together previously classified information together with his own, first-hand knowledge of the time, David Teale uncovers the shocking new truth, revealed in this book for the first time. David's story rewrites True Crime history. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
