[Scooter · Rating 3 out of 5]

A great light read for those of you who would like this kind of thing. Stories of swindlers, thieves and those who's crimes are to nefarious to name are compiled with stories from the right side of the law to give you a selection of tidbits that will no doubt be handy to bring up in conversation at random times.
