Kenny Noye: Public Enemy No 1 (Blake's True Crime Library)

Having just finished reading a book on John 'Goldfinger' Palmer I had to get straight onto this one as at one stage Noye and Palmer must have been the two busiest smelters in the UK and fortunately for the ordinary man in the street, they knew each other but that irony was unfortunate for Palmer. Noye was a career criminal from day one and absolutely ruthless, in fact, he had one of the requirements that are necessary to be labelled a psychpath in that he was without any feeling of guilt whatsoever of what happened to or was necessary to be done to remove anyone in his way. Wensley Clarkson has the author's measure of Noye, his 'standing' in the Criminal World, how he annoyed manySouth East London crims by bringing the 'heat' onto them and their 'business' through his selfishness. When the likes of Krays henchman Freddie Foreman and previously Ronnie Knight start giving you their support you need to look for the proverbial 'hole' to swallow you up! An Old Bailey jury of the 3 Wise Monkies had declared Noye 'Not Guilty' of undercover Police Officer John Fordham's MURDER, then guilty of Brinks-Mat involvement then Guilty again of Stephen Camerons MURDER even though Noyes 'friends and supporters club tried to blacken Camerons name. It was a travesty Noye was ever released. The Liberal Elitecan breathe another sigh of relief. Recommended.

This book catalogues the life and crimes of Kenneth Noye, the notorious cop killer involved in the brinks mat robbery and the fatal stabbing of Stephen Cameron on the M20 turnoff one fateful day in 1996. It is a hard hitting account of the mind and motivations of a man who lived life right on the edge, mixing with police, the freemasons, and the old style underworld. He commanded fearsome respect and was almost above the law, offering senoir police officers bribes of up to one million pounds to secure his relase. Its gritty, and a fascinating insight into one man who has shattered countless lives over the years in his pursuit of wealth and power. Definately worth a read late one night!

This was an interesting read. Much as been written about Kenneth Noye,and although this book did not answer all the questions that exist around Noye,it did give an insight into the workings and thoughts of a very dangerous man.It also seems to be quite a dangerous occupation to write about Kenneth Noye, and certainly rather dangerous to upset him, as he does appear to have a lot of good friends on the outside, though as Wensley Clarkson states these are getting fewer as a consequence of The Brinks Mat robbery. This a light read, but gives enough information to satisfy the curiosity of a reader who likes to have a little inside information on a very dangerous criminal..

This is a truly great book! It is absolutely fascinating, well researched and very well told. This is the second time I have read it. It is absolutely 'unputdownable'. Wensley Clarkson has got to be the undisputed true crime author. His writing of true crime books is second to none.No other author can write such fascinating accounts of the lives of notorious and infamous criminals, like this one of Kenny Noye. As I say ,very well written, in easy to read language. He has amassed a lot of, I think, authentic accounts of the criminal fraternity who provide him with authentic accounts of 'crims' activities, and I would say they come from impeccable sources. So much hard work has gone into this book,and it is brilliant reading! Anyone who likes to read true crime accounts must read this book. Thanks Wensley.
