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.

There was a code. It's not there now.

The public weren't in general danger from us. Most of our lot never burgled anybody's gaff. None of our lot every mugged people. We didn't hit women. Most of us didn't take drugs. We dressed well. Wouldn't be seen dead in tracksuit or shell suit. We were polite around women. Although our business was misbehavior, we knew how to behave.

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
