Publisher Description
“What happens to all the used five, ten, twenty and fifty pound notes when they are tatty, torn and grubby?” This question started one of the most audacious robberies in UK history.
The answer is that they are burned, sent away to the Royal mint and burned. Dave recruits seven unusual suspects; none with a criminal record, all in need of cash and all with a skill to help make his plan work.
After seducing them with the promise of riches he uses their personal skills to prepare for the robbery of the century.
They manage to facilitate a thirty minute window to complete the job but escape is difficult and they need cover.
The London Marathon provides their cover and they escape into the London Marathon dressed in costume with masses of money concealed beneath their outfits.
Who would suspect a gorilla, a bear and Fat Elvis of being bank robbers?
A heist caper in the vein of The Italian Job, a crime story with twists and turns, ups and downs and bears and clowns.....and The Pink Panther on a motorbike.
