The Great Train Robbery: The Drivers That Got Away is a gritty Liverpool true-family gangster crime thriller based on Boyle family oral history.

Official history remembers the men who were caught after the Great Train Robbery. This book follows the story passed down through the Boyle family - the story of four Liverpool drivers from Cantsfield Street, off Smithdown Road, remembered as part of the feared old firm known as The Waistcoat Firm.

Bobby Boyle, Leslie, Ronnie and Teddy were not the faces in the newspapers. In the family telling, they were the men behind the wheels. When the job turned too hot and the farm became a trap, they made the decision that changed everything: they drove away.

The family story speaks of 400,000 in cash, split four ways. Not bank money. Not clean money. Train money. Money that had to stay hidden, quiet and cold for a year before the signs of a changed life began to appear: Sandy Bay caravan site in Wales, a big luxury static caravan, Bobby's Ford Cortina, Ronnie's Chevrolet Impala, Leslie's Porsche 911 and Teddy's Aston Martin DB5.

But money like that does not only buy comfort. It buys silence. It buys danger. It buys old enemies, watching streets, closed doors and a family legacy carried in whispers.

Set between Liverpool street memory and the shadow of Britain's most infamous robbery, this fictionalised reconstruction explores loyalty, fear, family pride, inherited secrets and the cost of living beside a story too dangerous to tell.

This is not a police confession. It is not written to glorify crime. It is the Boyle family story as it was passed down: a tale of The Waistcoat Firm, Cantsfield Street, hidden money, old roads and the drivers that got away.
