Stories of some characters, becoming criminals by vocation, need or event, are collected in this book that you read all in one breath. The stories are not only the result of painstaking research, but the result of a psychological analysis of each character is laid bare disclosing the merits, shortcomings and naivety, telling stories of "brilliant" crook, "lucky" criminals, cynical sellers smoke, virtuoso artists from false by the author. Are attached to each master and complete mini-biographies that are not intended to enhance certain specific behaviors but to understand the logic, the psyche, the choices made by the players along with dramas and historical and social situations in which each character is carefully observed, often pitied and tried covertly, sometimes bitterly envied.
From the cover:
When we talk about crime, we think immediately brutal stories, interwoven with cruelty and blood. But the crime is not only violence and fear, often companies of its protagonists are amazingly intelligent, creative talent, and sometimes flashes of real brilliance. After having investigated the minds of serial killers in its most perverse and frightening, and after having disclosed the methods and scientific techniques with which police forces around the world have been able to shed light on the most heinous murders in history, and Carlo Lucarelli Massimo Picozzi retrace the incredible stories of many of his criminal activities were able to make "art". Vespa from Hamlet, done to make the light in Manchuria between the first and second World War, Vincenzo Peruggia, that one day in 1911 he placed himself under the arm Leonardo's Mona Lisa and walked undisturbed from the service of the Louvre . Ted Kaczinski, better known as the Unabomber, who held the FBI at bay for nearly twenty years, Graziano Mesina, through decidedly ambiguous figures, such as Marks and Felice Want Manor. By Han van Meegeren, able to paint and even sell fake Vermeer to Hermann Goering, the men began to mark the real hit of the century, the Brink's robbery at Bank of Boston. Stories of genius in which there is something extraordinary, something that makes you forget that basically, we're talking about criminals.
