In this epoch making book in which truth makes the wildest imaginings of the wizards of fiction dull and commonplace, Sophie Lyons, known to the police of two continents as the shrewdest, cleverest, brainiest, and most daring and resourceful criminal of the age, tears aside the veil and reveals the most desperate characters of the underworld, the millionaire aristocrats of crime, as they plot, plan and later execute their dark and incredible deeds. With breathless interest we watch these masked midnight marauders as the mighty steel vaults of the greatest financial institutions swing wide at their bidding, yielding their boundless treasures to the crafty cracksman and scientific burglar, the magic manipulators of gun, dynamite and jimmy.
