To the rest of the UK, Charles Salvador, formerly Charles Bronson, is a menace to society, a violent psychopath who deserves to be behind lock and key for the rest of his life, and that's where he has been for over five decades. Locked away in some of the country's most secure jails and hospitals for the criminally insane. To Irene Dunroe however, the first wife, and the only one to bear him a child, this man is simply, Mick. Michael Peterson, as he was born, and as he will always be to Irene. He is the one true love of her life.
In stark contrast to every newspaper headline ever written about Mr Salvador, this book examines the man behind the myth and seeks to show a different side to him. The love story of Irene and Mick spans over fifty years, and despite four other marriages between them, has unbelievably endured all of that, and the spark between these star crossed lovers is just as strong now as it ever was. Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, not just in the laws of physics, but in nature and all things. This story goes chapter by chapter to prove this theory as we journey through the decades alongside Irene and Britain's most feared prisoner.
