Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Britain's biggest gold heist - and the bloody legacy it left behind.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. On 8 August 1963, a Royal Mail train was stopped in the Buckinghamshire countryside and stripped of 2.6 million - the biggest robbery in British history. Within hours, the nation was obsessed. Within days, the manhunt had become front-page theatre.The Great Train Robbery: The 60-Year Story of the World's Most Famous Heist is a work of literary fiction, told against the backdrop of real events. It explores the robbery not as a solved crime, but as Britain experienced it: through breaking news, fevered rumours, media myth-making, and the long afterlife of a story that refused to fade.Framed as a fictional scrapbook, the novel follows Rob Nuttall - an imagined Fleet Street reporter who begins his career on the morning of the robbery and spends six decades orbiting its aftermath. Through reconstructed headlines, recreated notebooks, and reflective narration, Rob watches the crime mutate from investigation to legend, from outrage to entertainment, and finally into nostalgia.As the years pass, "Old Rob" looks back on the apprentice he once was: energised by deadlines, seduced by access, and slowly shaped by proximity to a story that defines his career while eroding his private life. The robbery becomes less a crime than a cultural phenomenon - and Rob becomes its keeper, long after it no longer needs him.This is not a conventional true-crime retelling. It is a novel about journalism, memory, and obsession - about how stories are preserved, recycled, and eventually hollowed out.Featuring: Recreated and stylised newspaper headlines from across six decadesFictional notebooks capturing the chaos of 1960s Fleet StreetLesser-told angles on the investigation, trials, escapes, and aftermathA narrative frame blending historical fact with literary inventionA meditation on fame, decay, and the personal cost of bearing witness A literary novel inspired by the Great Train Robbery, told through fictional scrapbooks and headlines. Following a Fleet Street reporter over six decades, it explores how a crime became myth - and how preserving a story can consume a life. This item is printed on demand.
