Official synopsis Publisher
The world’s most amazing heists in one stunning volume
From the age of the backstreet Victorian villain to today’s most famous thieves, this fantastic book gives you a fascinating tour of those who have tried to get rich quick by the shortest route
possible.
Some just tried with the threat of guns, like Jesse James and the famous outlaws of the American West. Others used cunning and disguise, including the man who managed to steal the English crown jewels from a locked basement.
There have been some true gentleman robbers, like the highwayman who refused to steal from women and wrote to the Police to ask how their investigation was going, or the record-breaking French bank robbers who left the message “Without guns, without hate and without violence” in the vault from which they had taken £10 million.
These are the amazing stories of some of crime’s most flamboyant characters and most extraordinary deeds.
