Eddie Richardson is the last of the old brand-name London gangsters. Together with his brother Charlie, his infamous "Torture Gang" built a criminal empire that rivalled the Krays — the two families fought each other as much as anyone else, and with Charlie now dead, Eddie is finally free to tell the story his own way.

From the scrapyards of South London to the glitz of West End nightclubs, from prison cells to the corridors of power, No Handcuffs traces Eddie's journey through decades of crime, betrayal and reinvention — including the family feud with Charlie that shaped so much of his life.

Told with striking candour, it's a first-hand account of a turbulent criminal era, from one of its last surviving figures.
