Book description
The Devil, they say, has all the best tunes. He also has some of the best stories. Like it or not, the rascals and rogues of this world are generally more interesting characters than the good guys. 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 politician who faked his own death, leaving behind him vast debts, the clerk who "invested" 32 million pounds of his bank’s money and the train robber who became a legend in his own lifetime.
