Palmer hit the big time in 1983 with the Brink's-Mat gold bullion raid, netting £500 million in today's money for himself and Kenneth Noye - the biggest heist in UK criminal history at the time. While murders and lethal accidents befell at least 20 accomplices and police officers connected to the raid, Palmer somehow remained unscathed. His luck finally ran out on 24 June 2015 when he was shot six times by an assassin. The killer remains unknown and, until now, so too did most of Palmer's secrets. Few gangsters have attracted as many newspaper column inches in recent decades, but only one woman saw it all from the start and lives to tell the tale. In Goldfinger and Me, his wife Marnie lifts the lid on Palmer's rise from a deprived childhood in Birmingham to a life of yachts, private jets, helicopters, fast cars, cocaine addiction and infidelity. His criminal exploits in Tenerife as well as his links to the Hatton Garden jewellery heist are also laid bare in this explosive book. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Palmer, John. 650 0 Organized crime|zGreat Britain. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Criminals & Outlaws.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Morgan, Tom,|d1982-|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aPalmer, Marnie.|tGoldfinger and Me. |d[Place of publication not identified] : The History Press, [2018]|z9780750987622|w(OCoLC)1019741628 914 frd00028025
