About this listen
Prolific armed robber. Close ally of Joey Pyle. Friend and fellow inmate of the Kray twins. Last man to stand trial with a Kray brother. First prisoner in the notorious Belmarsh Unit … Welcome to Ronnie Field's world.
From his abusive childhood, his inevitable journey into crime and his role in the dangerous underworld of south London’s gangland through to his eventful spells in many of Britain’s most secure jails, Ronnie Field is ready to recount his incredible story for the very first time. It’s a new take on the criminal fraternity of the 1970s and 80s from one of the last men standing.
A raw, honest and sometimes humorous portrayal of a life in the fast lane of organised crime, Nefarious is a reflection on a bygone era from which there are few regrets. Though some things are best laid to rest…

'For a time, the two Ronnies were in my life. Ronnie Kray, my husband on the inside, and Ronnie Field, my trusted bodyguard, on the outside. I never felt safer.' Kate Kray

Great listen for the commute
Some good stories, I enjoyed this book. Shame it wasn’t longer. The narrator was perfect for this type of book as well.

So interesting to know what went on in their alternative life!
SO well read. It was a fabulous listen, funny in parts but a real insight to the life of crime but not as we know it now. Just a life amongst thieves, I absolutely loved it.

An interesting story.
An interesting insight into the life of a London 'villain', sometimes serious but with some humour. If true crime is your genre I would recommend this book.
On the whole the narration was good but at times it sounded like Bruce Crompton.
