Özet

The real story that inspired the BBC drama, The Gold

On Saturday, 26 November 1983, an armed gang stole gold bullion worth almost £26 million from the Brink's-Mat security depot near London's Heathrow Airport. It was the largest robbery in world history, and only the start of an extraordinary story. For forty years, myths and legends have grown around the Brink's-Mat heist and the events that followed.

The heist led to a wave of international money laundering, provided dirty money that helped fuel the London Docklands property boom, caused seismic changes in both British crime and policing, and has been linked to a series of deaths that continued until 2015.

The Gold is the conclusion of extensive research and includes exclusive testimony from one of the original robbers who gives his version of events for the first time. The result is the astonishing true story of the robbery of the century.

Finally a story about The Gold robbery that gives all the facts (as many as can be found with a story like this) and weaves them into an insightful and interesting narrative. It's far better than the BBC tv series and the last chapter which is from Mickey McAvoy himself finishes it off brilliantly. Impressive and would recommend to all who are interested in the True Crime genre!

Very informative and easy to listen to!

A gripping re-enactment of the Brinks Mat gold bullion robbery and its aftermath, describing the characters involved both in the police and among the robbers and those involved later in the re disposal of the gold.

Financial thriller which really happened.

Clearly a lot of research has gone into this. Many know about the robbery, the Gold, and the characters, but the book/audio goes a lot deeper.
Like others I also liked the ending which sounds like a convincing account presented like that.
However I also enjoyed the chapters about recovery of the money. Particular the chapter about the Loss Adjusters.
TV was entertaining but criticised for over glamourising, but the book sets the record straight.
Beautifully read also.
Thanks
