About this listen
9.30 a.m. on 22 January 1993. The moment in crime history that one of Britain's most audacious thefts ever took place and the legend of 'Fast Eddie' was created.
This is the story of how Securicor guard Eddie Maher managed to pull off a £1.2 million heist, fled the country despite every port being closed, spawned an international manhunt and managed to evade capture for 20 years. As Britain's most wanted man, he led 30 detectives, FBI and Interpol on a wild goose chase across the USA.
Dubbed 'Fast Eddie' by the press, he was always one step ahead, and after two decades on the run with his family using a series of of aliases and identities, Eddie began to think he'd committed the perfect crime, until a cruel and dramatic betrayal proved otherwise....
Like a Hollywood movie script and told in full for the first time, Fast Eddie is the compelling story of how an ordinary British man became America's most notorious fugitive.

Is he the ultimate con?
He could have fabricated the '2 men made me do it', we will never know. This was a reluctant read, as I'm not a fan of glorifying crime. I'm not sure he's as unassuming as he portrays himself in the book.
Projecting his intelligence aside, the most interesting part of this story was Eddy's account of his experience in each of the different regions he lived in the U.S + how much England had changed in the time he'd been gone.
Well written and narrated, I looked forward to every chapter. Truth or lie, doesn't matter.
All the best Eddy.

Pointless
So much information about someone’s life that really didn’t make too many headlines or an impact.
So much for the recommendation Audible.
Out of the 3 chapters I got through, I think I actually only listened for 10min
