Life at the sharp end of London!5
An absolutely stunning book written in the words and vernacular of the man. A book I re-read constantly and enjoy every time; Freddie puts names and faces to some of crime's most notorious moments. One of the few autobiographies I have read that actually helps put you inside the mind and life of the person; instead of just being a cold rehash of who what and where. Strangely enough Freddie comes across as being a rogue but a lovable one! maybe it is just his way of telling the tale but the personality of the man shines through. Not that his many bad deeds should be forgiven or forgotten but it does give a clear and interesting insight into the man and his motivations.

Freddie Underworld Legend!!5
This book is one of the best crime books I have ever read, Fred goes into detail about his early days, his life of theft and robberies and how he helped the Kray twins on the murders of Frank Mitchell and Jack "the Hat" McVitie.
A great book for anyone interested in the London underworld.

Excellent Narrative of Skilful 60's and 70's Villainy5
A great read, excellently written. A great insight. Very touching in parts, almost doing Fred's bird with him in Leicester. Yuk! How can a man stand it? I got the impression that much was left untold about some of the 'blags'. Some of the villainy was exceptionally clever - but what a waste of a capable man! Especially all those years in nick. I have a sad picture of rows of cells with men wasting away inside them. Readers should note that when you rob insurance companies, banks or any other 'public company', it's us who pays - Joe Bloggs - with higher premiums - not the insurance companies, banks etc!
