Product Information
The real story of John 'Goldfinger' Palmer's criminal exploits are revealed in this explosive book. John 'Goldfinger' Palmer was a multi-millionaire kingpin of the British underworld, who would go on to mastermind a criminal empire to dwarf any crook of his generation. Palmer hit the big time in 1983 with the Brink's-Mat gold bullion raid, netting GBP500 million in today's money for himself and Kenneth Noye the biggest heist in UK criminal history at the time. While murders and lethal accidents befell at least 20 accomplices and police officers connected to the raid, Palmer somehow remained unscathed. His luck finally ran out on 24 June 2015 when he was shot six times by an assassin. The killer remains unknown and, until now, so too did most of Palmer's secrets. Few gangsters have attracted as many newspaper column inches in recent decades, but only one woman saw it all from the start and lives to tell the tale. In Goldfinger and Me, his wife Marnie lifts the lid on Palmer's rise from a deprived childhood in Birmingham to a life of yachts, private jets, helicopters, fast cars, cocaine addiction and infidelity. His criminal exploits in Tenerife as well as his links to the Hatton Garden jewellery heist are also laid bare in this explosive book. AUTHOR: Marnie Palmer met John Palmer in a nightclub in Bristol in 1972. They were married a year later. Together they had two daughters, before their family was torn apart by John's excessive drug use, infidelity and life of crime. 32 colour illustrationsProduct Identifiers

Interesting in many ways
I am finding it interesting because I live in an area not far from where they lived in the West Country. I also owned a timeshare property in Tenerife for 30 years (not one of John Palmers!)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Worth a read
Not a bad read you read what you expect too in the sense of the Earley days and life before he was mainly a wheeler dealer thief . Marnie drafts it well and the end is to be expected. I enjoyed it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
