Albert Donoghue was Reggie Kray's right-hand man, his minder and his chief executive. He quickly became the Twins' main collector of protecion money and the Firm's paymaster. He was deeply involved in their operations and watched them do their own dirty work with increasing dismay. When the Krays tried to frame him with the murder of Frank Mitchell, he decided it was time to testify against them, helping to put them behind bars for 30 years. No one has a more complete knowledge of the Krays during their prime and manic downfall. Now, he is ready to reveal the shocking events and conversations that only he witnessed. This is the inside story of the Kray empire, the legendary crime organization that still holds a central place in gangland mythology. But it is a story with a difference, for although Donoghue was a top member of the Firm, he stood apart, sardonically observing the Twins, privy to their most intimate secrets. His stance remains uniquely anti-heroic and debunking, rather than uncritical and eulogistic. After 25 years of silence, Donoghue has finally decided to reveal what really happened inside the Kray Firm.
