Goldfinger and Me

Zusatztext

The life, crimes and bloody end of John 'Goldfinger' Palmer were straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster ¿ and Marnie Palmer, his wife of forty years, had a front row seat. The poor Solihull lad, whose childhood home was so cold the goldfish froze, fought his way up to a lifestyle of private jets, yachts and Ferraris, thanks to a home-made gold smelter in his back garden and a multi-million-pound timeshare empire. By the turn of the millennium, Palmer was 105th on the Sunday Times Rich List, but Goldfinger had a long list of enemies. In Goldfinger and Me, his widow Marnie shares her unique insight into his rollercoaster life, from dealing scrap in Bristol, to the Brink's-Mat raid that changed their lives ¿ ending with his downfall of betrayals, jail stints and his still unsolved assassination.
