Book summary

A colorful criminal who inspired one of Arthur Conan Doyles's most flamboyant villains, Adam Worth reached the apotheosis of bank-robbing. The American born German-Jew was a gentleman thief--he never resorted to violence in his many escapades. With high style, Macintyre paints a portrait of one of history's most dashing figures.
