Last Gangster, The My Final Confession

Charlie Richardson is known as the 'torture boss' after the highly publicised trial that sentenced him to 25 years in the late sixties. The Last Gangster is Richardson's frank account of his largely untold life story, written just before his death in September 2012. He tells of his feuds with the Krays for supremacy, undercover missions involving politicians, time banged up in prison and reveals shocking secrets about royalty, phone hacking, bent coppers and the infamous black box. Straight up, shocking and downright gripping, this is the ultimate expose on this legendary gangster and his extraordinary life. As much a fascinating work of true crime, this is also a social history of post-war London revealing sensational secrets about politicians, royalty, famous actors, phone hacking, dodgy court cases and dodgy coppers.
