Box Office
Fantastic Kenny Noye interviewed for the book. I had heard a rumour a few months back. Couldn’t quite believe but it’s true he cooperated with the authors. A tip read Death Warrant by Will Pearson before this book as well as Clarkesons killer on the run for the build up if you can for the background but this is the main course and dessert finish it 2 days superb outstanding 40years in the making!

Very Good Read
Very interesting book but came across as sympathetic to a man involved in two deaths at times. As others have mentioned the book is all over the place with some passages in the wrong chapter and also wanders away from the subject onto something barely related. Having said all that, if the subject of Ken Noye is of interest then it is a must read.

Fact more sensational than fiction
Unputdownable. A fresh appraisal of some of the most notorious crimes of recent years. A fascinating read

A page turner to the end
What a great read, lots of pace and despite knowing stuff already it still read like a thriller, five stars

Interesting stuff but poorly written
Interesting read but I thought it was was very poorly written. Jumped from bit to bit and was contradictory in detail.Expected better from Donal MacIntyre.

INCREDIBLY BADLY-WRITTEN ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFE ON THE RUN
This is a very badly written account of the life and times of Kenneth Noye whilst he was on the run from the UK authorities after murdering Stephen Cameron a mere 2 years after release from prison over his role in Brinks Mat.The [known] facts of this robbery and its aftermath are remarkable in their own right, and the continuing consequences for so many involved reverberate to this day so you could be forgiven for thinking that it was impossible to tell this story badly. The introduction makes it clear that the authors had access to Noye who was supposedly quite candid with them about his time on the lam after the Cameron murder. How did he evade the scrutiny of so many intelligence agencies around the world? How did he cross borders with impunity, for so long? Don't look here for any enlightenment.It reads as though two 15-year-old pupils on work experience at the Daily Mail had written it - tortuous sentence construction, mangled grammar, very tabloid-ish and trite. At times incoherent. Awful. HOW did this get past the copy editor? Speaking in joined-up sentences is a major struggle for these two bards. Pass the idiot pills!Coming hot on the heels of the similarly disappointing and frustrating BBC series THE GOLD [ obstensibly about the Brinks Mat bullion robbery in 1983], in which Noye played a central role, I am starting to despair of the state of British journalism. Both are very, very disappointing accounts of an extremely interesting period in British villainy.The best book by far about Noye and Brinks Mat is BULLION by the Sunday Times journalist Andrew Hogg, now OOP but obtainable easily-enough on the second hand market. It remains the definitive-to-date account of this extraordinary case. Don't bother with the rest, and certainly not this brain-dead, illiterate word salad.

Thrilling and captivating!
YThe authors have nailed this! I cannot put this book down. The detail in this book is outstanding! I hope it’s made into a Hollywood blockbuster! It’s electrifying. I read it in a day, and read it again, several times more. It’s stunning. I have bought many books on Brinks Mat “this is the book”. Only McIntyre can take you inside the beating heart, of the biggest crime of the century. Other authors talk the talk, McIntyre walks the walk. I highly recommend you buy this book.

READS LIKE A THRILLER
Cracking read, edge of your seat stuff. MacIntyre gets you right into the frenetic world of Kenny Noye's life on the run following the Brinks Mat robbery. You won't put it down.
