The Tragic Bride is a novel based on a true event which is written by Francis Brett Young. The story of Frances Shea, wife of Reggie Kray, is one of the most tragic stories of the Sixties. Frances was lured into an outwardly glamorous world of nightclubs, expensive clothes, and showbiz parties, but soon discovered the real world of the Kray Twins, where violence, drink, drugs, and terror dominated everything. She broke away and briefly enjoyed other relationships, but Reggie would never let her go. Frances and her family were intricately entwined with the Twins' descent from gangland extortion and cruelty into senseless murder and mayhem by the time she wed Reggie in their 'Wedding of the Year' in 1965. Frances passed away from a heroin overdose two years later. Now, 50 years later, the truth about the life of Frances Shea and her short marriage to Reggie Kray is finally revealed in this novel. This book explodes the myths surrounding the marriage and reveals how the effect of this tragic, doomed relationship haunted the lives of Frances's loved ones right to the end.
