The Krays were a product of their age, nurtured by a doting mother and created by their community, the East End of London. Their name alone conjures up images of power, violence, and greed—and even brother Charlie couldn't steer the twins Ron and Reg clear of murder mayhem as they killed their way to the top of the criminal tree. The three brothers are an indelible part of our history, whether we like it or not. From media-manipulation to control-freak paranoia, the Krays were masters of deception. This biography traces their history from childhood and early adolescence to manhood and death. It explores the brothers' fantasy lives, full as they were of mind games and false memories. Only now can the truth be revealed—without fear of intimidation, retribution, or revenge. The Krays are dead and buried, but the myth lives on.

About the Author
Colin Fry was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex, like Ron and Reg Kray an identical twin. After college he went to live in Paris, where he met his Danish wife Eva. They worked for several years in the south of Spain making films, with Fry appearing in the Oscar-award-winning film Patton. The couple then moved to Denmark, where Fry worked for Esso Engineering before joining a friend who owned a record company and travelling all over the world buying and selling records. He formed his own company in 1981, but ten years later he broke his back and, unable to keep up an active life in the record business, turned to writing. He is author of the Kray Files and wrote Doing the Business in collaboration with Charlie Kray.
