Content
Once the UK's most wanted man, Ronnie Knight was imprisoned for his part in the 1983 London Security Express heist of [pound]7 million ([pound]26 million today). Married for years to TV star Barbara Windsor, he divided his time between the celebrity party circuit in London and exile in the sun-drenched, luxurious surroundings of the Spanish coastal strip once known as the Costa del Crime. In Blood and Revenge, Knight reveals the true story of a career spent as a major league criminal, including the shocking truth behind the killing of his brother. David Knight was stabbed to death in a brawl and Ronnie was cleared of the revenge killing. But now Ronnie tells why the story he told under oath in court was not the whole truth. This is the London underworld from the inside.
