An exceptional biography of the infamous Jonathan Wild, who took early 18th century organised crime to a new level, under the guise of the Thief Taker General, making Al Capone and the Krays appear like mere amateurs. Very well ordered research with plausible explanations and theories in areas left blank over the passage of time, this book is a must have for anyone who has an interest in the history of crime.
