The world's greatest Crooks & conmen - Nigel Blundell

The world's greatest Crooks & conmen: Hoaxers, swindlers, scallywags, scoundrels, scamps, thieves, liars, cheats, rascals, fiddlers, frauds, robbers, rogues, adventurers, forgers, and other mischief-makers - Nigel Blundell Like it or not, the rascals and rogues of this world are generally more interesting characters than the good guys and their names and escapades are often better remembered than those of the heroes. In this volume you will find a remarkable array of men and women, including the cigar-maker who made a fortune by exhibiting a home-made giant, the politician who faked his own death, leaving behind him vast debts, the clerk who invested £32 million of his bank's money and the train robber who became a legend in his own lifetime.
