About this deal

It’s true he was running surveillance and raids at multiple locations on the same day – and that a misstep in either location would raise the alarm along the gold chain. The disposal of the bullion caused the birth of large-scale international money laundering, provided the dirty money that helped fuel the London Docklands property boom, united blue and white collar criminals and left controversy and murder in its wake. Among the real-life figures in The Gold are Brian Boyce (Hugh Bonneville), Kenneth Noye (Jack Lowden), John Palmer (Tom Cullen), Marnie Palmer (Stefanie Martini), Tony Brightwell (Emun Elliott), Micky McAvoy (Adam Nagaitis), Jackie McAvoy (Lily Knight), Gordon Parry (Sean Harris), Jeannie Savage (Dorothy Atkinson), Brian Robinson (Frankie Wilson), Brian Reader (James Nelson-Joyce) and John Fordham (Hadley Fraser). Also created for the show is solicitor Edwyn Cooper (Dominic Cooper), an amalgam of various big money players who helped launder the Brink’s-Mat money, though he’s most closely based on solicitor Michael Relton.

With her close-cropped peroxide blonde hair and flashy clothes, Savage was a focus of the media coverage. The Goldfinch was described as "a great bewitching novel" by Le Monde [13] and "masterful" by Télérama.The Brink's-Mat robbery led to the birth of international large-scale money laundering, provided the dirty money that fuelled the London Docklands property boom, changed British policing, and sparked a series of violent murders that continued until 2015. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who do not know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: the small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art. The novel is part coming-of-age story, part mystery, part rumination on the value of a human life versus the value of art. This world of smoke-filled pubs and Freemason handshakes has been more credibly conjured in several British gangster films (the Bob Hoskins-starring 1980 classic, The Long Good Friday, springs to mind), but there are still pleasures aplenty to be found in the production design – the cars!

The Gold by Neil Forsyth, Thomas Turner | Waterstones

The book was selected as one of the 10 Best Books of 2013 by the editors of the New York Times Book Review. In a lengthy reflection, Theo wonders how much of his experiences were unavoidable due to fate or his character, and contemplates The Goldfinch and "the history of people who have loved beautiful things, and looked out for them, and pulled them from the fire". It's something I adore, but softly, passively, and often forgetfully—very nice while it's happening, but flitting away quickly after I'm on to the next. From there, this cops-and-robbers tale branches out in multiple directions, as the self-identifying “villains” split up, go to ground and begin the complex task of laundering their haul. In reality, Anthony Black was sentenced to six years ­– even the judge warned him that he’d never be safe again and Black had to assume a new identity.In the Sunday Times, Camilla Long said The Gold was “astonishingly, lavishly, well realised”, [12] while Esquire said that The Gold was “British TV at its best” and had “all the hallmarks of a crime classic”.

The heist – and its aftermath: smelting, laundering, and murder – are the subject of the BBC’s new six-part drama, The Gold, which is available now on iPlayer.Woody Brown, writing in Art Voice, described The Goldfinch as a "marvelous, epic tale, one whose 773 beautiful pages say, in short: 'How can we?

The way people talk, my god, there is a Russian character (probably the best character in the book) who learned to speak English in Australia and you can really hear that fucking incomprehensible accent, the hitch of verbs mis-conjugated in just the right ways, the tossing out of slang words in four different languages, so casual and so perfectly apt. The heist led to a wave of international money laundering, provided dirty money that helped fuel the London Docklands property boom, caused seismic changes in both British crime and policing, and has been linked to a series of deaths that continued until 2015. What started as "a typical Old Kent Road armed robbery" according to detectives at the time, became a seminal event in British criminal history. The Gold shows a fairly accurate depiction of the Brink’s-Mat money-laundering scam, with Cooper and Gordon Parry (Sean Harris) – who was a real person involved with the scam – funnelling the money into multiple bank accounts in places such as Switzerland, Jersey, and Lichtenstein.I am not a reader who must like or identify with the main character, or even any of them, but I do require them to at least be interesting or representative of a larger idea in some way, if not, then I at least want to be able to root for them.
