Overview

The shadows of the East End hadn't vanished; they had just learned to dress in Armani and hide behind the heavy bass of the nineties. While the world thought the Krays were relics of a bygone era, Gary Piper knew the truth. He was the bridge between the old guard and the new breed-a trusted hand in London who could navigate the backstreets of Bethnal Green as easily as the boardrooms of the West End.

Author Information

​Gary Piper is a man who has walked where others only whisper. Born and bred in the heart of London's East End, Piper's life has been defined by the inner circles of the most formidable names in British history. ​From his early years operating within the legendary firm of the Kray twins, he mastered the uncompromising codes of loyalty and respect that ruled the London streets. As the decades shifted, his path led him from the smoke of the East End to the white heat of Tenerife, where he became a trusted associate of John ""Goldfinger"" Palmer during the peak of his global empire. ​Witnessing the transition from the old-school tradition of the Krays to the volatile, high-stakes power plays of the 1990s, Piper remained a constant figure at the very top of gangland. ​Today, Gary is a devoted father, finally trading the razor's edge for a quieter life. Now retired in the North West of England, he has stepped out of the shadows to provide the definitive, first-hand account of a life lived inside the Firm.
