The Napoleon of Crime: The Life and Times of Adam Worth, Master Thief

Rating:
Summary: overly speculative and poorly written
Review: This is a great book and very readable. I did not know what I was in for when I purchased the book, but it exceeded all expectations. It is about a society (the criminal society) about which little is known. In addition, it is about the theft of one of the world's most famous paintings and the life of that painting. Finally, the relationship between Worth and W. Pinkerton is also a chapter of criminal history. Great Book
