King of Heists is a spellbinding and unprecedented account of the greatest bank robbery in American history, which took place on October 27, 1878, when thieves broke into the Manhattan Savings Institution and stole nearly $3 million in cash and securities—around $50 million in today's terms. Bringing the notorious Gilded Age to life in a thrilling narrative, J. North Conway tells the story of those who plotted and carried out this infamous robbery, how they did it, and how they were tracked down and captured. The robbery was planned to the minutest detail by criminal mastermind George Leonidas Leslie—a society architect and ladies' man whose double life as the nation's most prolific bank robber led him to be dubbed the “King of the Bank Robbers.” The New York Times proclaimed the 1878 heist “the most sensational in the history of bank robberies in this country.” An absorbing tale of greed, sex, crime, betrayal, and murder, King of Heists blends all the richness of history with the thrills of the best fiction.

Robbery Under Arms was acclaimed as an Australian classic almost immediately after it appeared in book form in the late 1880s. It was praised for its excitement, romance and authentic picture of 1850s colonial life. As the first writer to attempt a long narrative in the voice of an uneducated Australian bushman, Rolf Boldrewood had created a story with enduring cultural resonance. Its continuing appeal and popularity have seen the tale frequently adapted for stage, radio, film and television. During all of this time the novel's text was not stable. It lost some material accidentally in its early typesettings, and these omissions were never repaired. It was later abridged by its author at the publisher's request, but the publisher botched his instructions. And, as with any much-reprinted work, thousands of small changes gradually crept into the text. This Academy Edition is the first full-scale critical edition of the novel. It presents the text as it originally appeared in instalments in the pages of the Sydney Mail in 1882-83. It allows readers to experience the first-person narration that Henry Lawson was inspired by, to appreciate how the special qualities of voice were partially flattened over time and to know exactly what material was omitted.

‘Oh, something is bound to go wrong, but one might as well start out from a position of optimism, don’t you think?’ said Angela. It's fair to say that Freddy Pilkington-Soames is not having a good day. His grandmother is threatening to marry a lounge lizard, his old friend has lost her lover, a racehorse has been kidnapped, a priceless diamond has gone missing, and everybody seems to think he should sort it all out. (Oh, and there's a dead body on the terrace.) Now Freddy's on the sunny French Riviera, caught in the crossfire of a feud between an audacious thief he's locked horns with before and a murderous gang who will stop at nothing to get what they want. He'd keep his head down if he could, but there are questions that need answering. Who took the diamond? Who is double-crossing whom? And is his grandmother's intended quite all he seems? (And where did that dead body go?) A political scandal at the highest level is looming and the future of an international conference hangs in the balance, and once again it's up to Freddy to save the day—in more ways than one.

Daley (Year of the Dragon, To Kill a Cop, Prince of the City) takes his police-procedural savvy on a trip to a foreign place-and-time--to 1954 Nice, where a local cop doggedly pursues the US-expatriate mastermind of the ""heist of the century."" The mastermind is danger-loving WW II hero Lambert, a would-be playwright and sometime cigarette-smuggler who teams up with the Marseille ""Milieu"" to plan an assault on the Banque de Nice: in the novel's riveting opening chapter, Lambert and a dozen cronies (some Milieu mobsters, some free-lancers) ransack the bank's safe-deposit boxes, escape via sewer, kill an unlucky bum who sees them. . . and go their separate ways with divided-up loot. Then, while Lambert takes his quiet, beautiful French wife Jacqueline off for a sudden vacation (he tells her that he has sold his play to B'way), moody Commissaire Robert Bellarmine of the local SûretÉ branch starts investigating the bank-robbery. Bellarmine is pressured from all sides: the press; the government; and influential individuals (like the Mayor), whose deposit-boxes held embarrassing papers as well as cash or jewelry. The Nice/Marseille sleuthing turns up several of the dumber robbers--but little hard evidence, with no sign of ""The Brain"" who planned it all. (The Milieu manages to silence one would-be informer in a grisly blowtorch vignette.) Meanwhile, the restless Lambert once again virtually abandons wife Jacqueline, now investing his loot in a gun-smuggling scheme, but also planning some blackmail just in case: among the deposit-box spoils were pornographic photos featuring a US Congressman. And lonely cop Bellarmine, deserted by his showgirl lover, is attracted to sad shopowner Jacqueline, not knowing that she's married--until Lambert is at last tracked down and arrested. So, in the solid but predictable second half: decent Jacqueline is caught between her love for Bellarmine and her loyalty to a husband-in-trouble; Lambert uses those blackmail photos to get himself broken out of custody by the CIA; and the ruthless Milieu steps in to arrange some ironic killing. . . which frees Jacqueline for a happy fadeout. No surprises along the way--and, with Lambert an unendearing mastermind, there's minimal excitement about his fate. But since Daley handles all the details with gritty, deglamorized conviction--bank-procedures, interrogations, prostitute/gangster life--the unremarkable, rather slow-moving plot here is steadily, atmospherically engrossing. -- Distributed by Syndetics Solutions, LLC.

Robbery can be planned or spontaneous and is a typically short, chaotic crime that is comparatively under-researched. This book transports the reader to the streets and focuses on the real-life narratives and motivations of the youth gang members and adult organized criminals immersed in this form of violence. Uniquely focusing on robberies involving drug dealers and users, this book considers the material and emotional gains and losses to offenders and victims, and offers policy recommendations to reduce occurrences of this common crime.

Crime control continues to be a growth industry, despite the drop in crime indicators throughout the nation. This volume shows how state-of-the-art geographic information systems (GIS) are revolutionizing urban law enforcement, with an award-winning program in New York City leading the way. Electronic "pin mapping" is used to display the incidence of crime, to stimulate effective strategies and decision making, and to evaluate the impact of recent activity applied to hotspots. The expert information presented by 12 contributors will guide departments without such tools to understand the latest technologies and successfully employ them. Besides describing and assessing cutting-edge techniques of crime mapping, this book emphasizes: * the organizational and intellectual contexts in which spatial analysis of crime takes place, * the technical problems of defining, measuring, interpreting, and predicting spatial concentrations of crime, * the common use of New York City crime data, and * practical applications of what is known (e.g., a review of mapping and analysis software packages using the same data set). Students, academics, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the areas of criminal justice, corrections, geography, social problems, law and government, public administration, and public policy analysis will need to look at the interdisciplinary nature of both GIS and spatial dimensions of crime in order to comprehend the variety of different approaches address important analytic problems, reassess public facilities and resources, and prepare to respond more quickly to emerging hotspots.
