World's Great Crooks and Conmen

Like it or not, the rascals and rogues of this world are generally more interesting characters than the good guys. Their names and escapades are better remembered than those of the heroes. In this volume you will find a remarkable array of men and women, including the politician who faked his own death, the clerk who 'invested' GBP32 million of his banks money adn the train robber who became a legend in his own lifetime.
