About this listen

A gripping story of revenge - the prequel to Cruel Secrets - from the gangland governor, Kerry Barnes!

Bermondsey, London. With an absent father and a penniless mother, Cyril Reardon is determined to be the man of the house. As young as eight, Cyril is a charmer, a planner, and a risk-taker. A rare trip to the country, shows Cyril a completely different world, and it opens his eyes to how the other half lives.

A young man wants Cyril shot dead but receives a nasty scar and a few injuries that set him on a path of revenge. Little does he know that all the time he was being raised a lord, Cyril Reardon was being raised a gangster.

Only one of them is a gentleman. Only one of them plays the cards they were dealt.

loads of bad language which doesnt bother me but if you dont like that then not for you! A few giggles in a pretty rough story of London gangster life and real family life in the 50s 60s

A good yarn
