About the Book

On a sunny May morning in 1990, a bank courier strode out of the Bank of England and, minutes later, was robbed at knifepoint of 301 bearer bonds valued at £292 million. It was the biggest theft in British history. The thing is... when Keith Cheeseman received a call from a disbarred lawyer connected to London's underworld and attended a meeting on the night of the robbery, he counted £427 million in bonds - £135 million more than the Bank of England had reported. As Keith set out to launder the bonds, Scotland Yard and the FBI were always one step ahead in tracking them down. Over the next eighteen months, two gangland figures were shot dead and more than eighty people were arrested. Keith was the only man ever jailed for the crime. Keith Cheeseman is the last of the old-time gangsters, a con man who detests violence, wears Savile Row suits and gold watches, and loves classic cars and good dining. He bought non-league Dunstable football club and signed Manchester United star George Best to play for the team. He knew the legendary Kray twins and killer Frankie Fraser once threatened to snuff him out him over a game of chess. So what happened to the missing £135 million? In this breathtaking adventure brimming featuring colourful characters from showbusiness alongside royalty, the IRA and even Pablo Escobar, Clifford Thurlow reveals Keith Cheeseman's incredible true story for the first time. AUTHORS: Clifford Thurlow has been described as 'one of the UK's best ghostwriters'. He has worked on a wide range of titles, including Sunday Times best-sellers Runaway and Today I'm Alice. He worked with Wing Commander Mike Sutton to write Typhoon: The Inside Story of an RAF Fighter Squadron at War. Keith Cheeseman is the only person ever convicted in connection to the biggest robbery in British history. He is also famous as the former chairman of non-league Dunstable Town, notably tempting George Best out of retirement. Cheeseman spent a lifetime rubbing shoulders with everybody from British high society to American gangsters.

Review :
This is a real jaw-dropper. The scale of the theft, the global links of the gangs. The extraordinary figure of Keith Cheeseman. I had no idea - it's just wonderful! This book tells it warts and all - once started, it's impossible to put down. A fantastic read. A strange and intriguing tale. The Mafia Godfather Jon Gotti called him the Big Cheese. He partied with the stars. He stayed in the best hotels and drank vats of fizz. Keith Cheeseman's story is laced with his wide-boy humour and reads like a Guy Ritchie caper. There is a tremendous cast of dodgy customers surrounding our protagonist. I'm amazed he lived to tell the tale. And ultimately remains at liberty. Funny/sad with laugh-out loud dialogue too. This really should be made into a big box-office film. Riveting.
