Book description
Bestselling author Robert Ryan tells the story of the most ambitious
robbery of the twentieth century, when seventeen men risked it all in
their quest for adventure, success and fame. 1963: an unarmed gang led
by the dapper Bruce Reynolds holds up a Royal Mail train at a remote
bridge in Buckinghamshire, escaping with millions. The group lay low in
a nearby farm but, panicked by the police closing in they clear out,
leaving behind numerous fingerprints. Outraged by the gang's audacity
and under political pressure for quick arrests, the police move into top
gear. As huge quantities of money start to turn up in forests and phone
boxes, dumped by nervous middlemen, Scotland Yard begin to track down
the robbers, one by one...
