On a warm Sunday in July, 1987, 60 million British pounds in cash, jewelry, and cocaine were stolen from the Knightsbridge Safe Deposit Centre. Valerio Viccei, the young brilliant son of an Italian lawyer, and his gang performed the biggest robbery in history. The losers in this heist all appeared to be hugely wealthy, no one was hurt and many ordinary people marveled at the daring and nerve of the raiders.Valerio has been labeled a super stud, a ruthless gunman, and a criminal mastermind, but he is the only man who knows the true story behind this crime, as he was the leader of the group that committed it. Here, in his own words, is that story. Valerio Viccei is a shimmering, exotic, criminal mastermind . . . he lived the life of a Hollywood movie star." --The (London)Times .
