Born Crooked: The Forgers Whose Audacity Challenged the Pinkertons - Paperback
by Kim y. Wittel (Author)
The Pinkerton Detective Agency, it was said, would "follow even the slightest clues for years, and, almost without exception" would find a criminal and bring him to justice.
Born Crooked is the true story of the nineteenth-century forgers -"the most expert band of criminals at that line of work known to the authorities"-who gave the newly emerging Pinkerton Agency a run for its money. You'll learn what sent these men back to a life of crime over and over, how law enforcement continued to stay on their trail, and how Robert and William Pinkerton, the famous brothers who ran the Pinkerton Agency during the late 1800s, finally brought them down for good.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
