Around the world of crime, this is a tour which takes the reader to Tokyo, Greece, Belgium, China, Italy, France, Germany, England, and the United States. In each country Don Whitehead provides the details of famous and baffling cases--piracy, intrigue, murder, adultery, treason. It is a story of daring and gigantic defiance, of crime with a flair, and as such should have a wide appeal to those who prefer non-fiction with a dramatic complexion. (KIRKUS REVIEW)
