A Daily Mail Book of the Week

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…

‘At last, Ronnie Field tells his story. He talks the talk, walks the walk and is staunch as steel.’ Freddie Foreman

'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

'An incredible tale … brilliantly well-written and humorous' Daily Mail
