Book description
In December 1995, three key members of the infamous Essex Boys firm
were executed in their Range Rover after being lured to a deserted
farm track by the promise of a lucrative drug deal. The police
predicted that the void left as a result of the murders would cause a
gangland war that would extend across London and much of the south-east.
Essex Boys, The New Generation tells the chilling true story
of the gang that destroyed everything that stood in their way to take
control of their fallen predecessors' drug empire. With a reputation
for ruthless violence, the gang expanded and protected their
drug-dealing operation with a terrifying combination of bloodshed and intimidation.
In February 2001, tensions within their circle boiled over and
resulted in one member being shot dead. The police investigation was
met with a wall of silence and for three years it seemed as if the
case would remain unsolved. A leading member of the gang was
eventually charged, but in an unexpected twist he became the
prosecution's star witness. While a murder conviction was finally
secured, the real truth surrounding the murder and the gang's
psychotic crimes has never been revealed.
Now, for the first time, former Essex Boys member Bernard O'Mahoney
tells the full, extraordinary story of the rise and fall of the gang
that took over the Essex underworld from him and his associates.
Bernard O'Mahoney is also the author of the bestselling
