I could tell from the introduction and the variety of crimes this book would detail that it was going to be a fascinating read. There were a lot of bits that were a terrific review for me, but also many segments that had new and interesting information. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

A very good book on crime, especially that of gangsters, theft, and the Wild West. Pretty good. Four stars.
