#1 New Release in Heists & Robberies

Enjoy a collection of non-fiction accounts by international writers and experts on crooks, rogues, criminals, and serial killers who disguise themselves among society by being what you least expect-your friendly next-door neighbor.

From mild mannered coworkers to doting parents. Some might be your jack-of-all-trades friend, or others might be your family member with an altruistic persona. The Best New True Crime Stories: Well-Mannered Crooks, Rogues & Criminals takes you deeper into the unconventional criminal's psyche.

It's time for you to meet the infamous Naun Briones, who struck fear into the hearts of the rich, and Freddie Brenman, a notorious street-fighter with mysterious ties to the Dillinger Gang. You'll find yourself realizing that being nice and friendly is a killer combination.
