书籍简介

1990年5月一个阳光明媚的早晨，一名银行信使走出英格兰银行，几分钟后，他被持刀抢劫，301张价值2.92亿英镑的不记名债券被洗劫一空。这是英国历史上的大型的盗窃案。

然而……就在抢劫案发生的当晚，基思·切斯曼接到一位与伦敦Hei社会有联系的被吊销律师的电话，并赴约。他清点债券时，发现价值高达4.27亿英镑——比英格兰银行报告的数字多了1.35亿英镑。

基思开始洗钱的过程中，苏格兰场和联邦调查局始终领先一步，追踪他们的下落。在接下来的18个月里，两名黑帮成员被击毙，80多人被捕。基思是一个因这起案件入狱的人。

基思·切斯曼是老派黑帮的z后一位代表人物，他是个骗子，厌恶暴力，身着萨维尔街定制西装，佩戴金表，热爱老爷车和美食。他收购了非职业联赛球队邓斯特布尔镇足球俱乐部，并签下了曼联球星乔治·贝斯特。他知道，传奇的克雷兄弟和杀手弗兰基·弗雷泽曾威胁要通过一盘国际象棋就除掉他。

那么，那1.35亿英镑究竟去了哪里？

在这部扣人心弦的冒险故事中，克利福德·瑟洛揭开了基思·切斯曼令人难以置信的真实故事，书中人物形形色色，从演艺界人士到皇室成员，从爱尔兰共和军到巴勃罗·埃斯科巴，应有尽有。

On a sunny May morning in 1990, a bank courier strode out of the Bank of England and, minutes later, was robbed at knifepoint of 301 bearer bonds valued at £292 million. It was the biggest theft in British history.

The thing is... when Keith Cheeseman received a call from a disbarred lawyer connected to London's underworld and attended a meeting on the night of the robbery, he counted £427 million in bonds - £135 million more than the Bank of England had reported.

As Keith set out to launder the bonds, Scotland Yard and the FBI were always one step ahead in tracking them down. Over the next eighteen months, two gangland figures were shot dead and more than eighty people were arrested. Keith was the only man ever jailed for the crime.

Keith Cheeseman is the last of the old-time gangsters, a con man who detests violence, wears Savile Row suits and gold watches, and loves classic cars and good dining. He bought non-league Dunstable Town football club and signed Manchester United star George Best to play for the team. He knew the legendary Kray twins and killer Frankie Fraser once threatened to snuff him out over a game of chess.

So what happened to the missing £135 million?

In this breath-taking adventure, featuring colourful characters from showbusiness alongside royalty, the IRA and even Pablo Escobar, Clifford Thurlow reveals Keith Cheeseman's incredible true story for the first time.
