Crime does pay. At least for a while. You’ll see that quickly in
these nine compelling and true stories of brilliant plans and guile.
The thieves awaiting you seem to have it all. They are clever, cool,
and determined with icy resolve. It took a lot of guts and nerves of
steel to do what they did and not fold under the pressure. After all,
if those hard-wrought plans had failed, they would have had plenty of
time to think about what went wrong in prison. Hijack an airplane,
demand a ransom and two parachutes, then disappear? Invent a device
that allows you to record the combination of any bank vault, then
break into bank vaults twice? Steal from a secret mob depository run
by a boss known for his brutality? Rob a small-town bank in midday and
ride off without a second thought? Piece of cake. The Greatest Heists
Stories Ever Told will allow readers to appreciate the efforts that go
into a truly magnificent heist. It is a celebration of stunning,
well-planned and audacious capers that left police and armies of
investigators looking for answers and scratching their heads. Among
the stories included are: The Lufthansa Heist The Northfield Bank
Robbery The Last Good Heist Hijack! DB Cooper’s Great Escape and
many others
